Could you build this?
Partial The claims management portal, UI, and report generation can be vibe-coded, but integrating commercial satellite APIs and running reliable change-detection computer vision models requires specialized geospatial expertise.
What it would actually take: Building a real platform requires integrating commercial high-resolution imagery providers (such as Planet Labs or Maxar) with an automated geospatial processing pipeline. The hard technical challenges involve orthorectification, cloud masking, and fine-tuning computer vision segmentation models (e.g., custom UNets or SAM variants) to detect roof and property damage reliably across variable satellite angles and resolutions.
