Наблюдавай: sell inventory capture to brokers before patent tech
The problem is legitimate; the unproven part is whether consumers will document possessions before a loss. Distribution through insurers/brokers matters more than scanning novelty.
Phone scan → documented home inventory
Itemly claims to scan a home, record belongings and create photos that cannot be faked for insurance evidence.
Authoritative insurance guidance confirms that a detailed inventory helps claims, but does not validate Itemly's patent or evidentiary acceptance.
