Claims without baseline
When prior condition is undocumented, a storm conversation begins as an argument instead of a review.
System of record for commercial roof condition
Create the baseline. Track what changed. Keep every roof in one record.
Midwest Aerial Services creates a baseline for each commercial roof, compares storms and repairs to that baseline, and keeps the history in one portal so owners, facility teams, contractors, consultants, and insurers can act from shared evidence.
The drone is a sensor. The record is the product.
BaselineInstall the fixed starting point for the roof.
Event ReviewIsolate what changed after the event.
MonitoringTurn one-off inspections into continuity.
Why the current model fails
Most roof decisions fail before the meeting starts.
The problem is rarely a lack of images. The problem is fragmented dates, fragmented files, and fragmented interpretations. MAS replaces that with one roof record and one timeline.
Scope without shared evidence
Owners, contractors, consultants, and insurers often arrive with different files and different assumptions.
Capital without history
A roof ages across time. Budget and replacement decisions improve when that history is visible.
The operating workflow
Simple to explain. Strong enough to operate.
Keep the public story plain. MAS starts with baseline. Then later events, repairs, and recurring reviews attach to that same roof so the portal always has context.
Baseline
Document roof identity, capture context, artifact set, and first findings.
Event Review
Compare storms, repairs, or other events to the known baseline instead of memory.
Monitoring
Add scheduled checkpoints so condition drift and follow-up work remain visible.
Portal
Run queues, record state, permissions, and decision outputs from one operating layer.
Claim-ready evidence
Repair and warranty context
Portfolio visibility
Repeatable record structure
Built around objects, states, and actions
The record model is what makes MAS feel enterprise-level.
The platform is organized around real assets, visible state, and next actions instead of isolated files. Stable nouns create trust. Stable workflow creates speed.

Representative proof
Show the model in three clear frames.
The public site should make the workflow obvious: raw roof, structured baseline, quantified delta. The goal is clear communication without pretending the public visual is a live client report.
Representative product visuals help explain the workflow. Live records stay in private review.
Governance posture
The record is more credible when control is visible.
Enterprise buyers care about more than images. They care about scope, permissions, history, and whether the record can support actual decisions.
Access scope
Keep records visible by building, roof, or portfolio so the right people see the right assets.
Audit history
Track when artifacts, findings, and decision packs are added or updated.
Review states
Open, in review, approved, closeout pending, and monitored keep work visible.
Decision exports
Claims, repair scope, closeout, and capital review should come from the same record.
Who it is built for
One roof record. Multiple stakeholders.
Owners
Reduce uncertainty, protect asset value, and make higher-consequence decisions from shared evidence.
Facility teams
Run review cadence, track follow-up work, and keep roof history organized in one place.
Consultants & contractors
Work from the same roof context instead of fragmented email threads and dated files.
Insurance & risk
Review pre-loss baseline and post-event change from one defensible timeline.
Start with one roof, one building, or one portfolio.
The cleanest first motion is still the baseline. It installs the record without forcing a large program on day one.
