How Trussly Ratings Work

Last updated: March 1, 2026

Every property on Trussly receives a score from 0 to 100 that reflects its overall condition. The score combines structured data, uploaded reports, and buyer-facing risk signals so shoppers can compare homes with more context.

Score Breakdown

foundation

Structural

40%

Foundation integrity, framing condition, load-bearing walls, and roof structure. This is the largest factor because structural issues are usually the most expensive to remediate.

hvac

Mechanical

30%

HVAC age and condition, plumbing systems, electrical capacity, and other functional systems that determine day-to-day livability.

palette

Cosmetic

20%

Interior and exterior finishes, visible wear, curb appeal, and less-critical appearance-driven issues that still affect budget and buyer perception.

Safety

10%

Fire hazards, unsafe wiring, environmental concerns, egress risks, and other signals that can materially affect buyer safety and urgency.

Data Sources

Trussly combines multiple signals to understand a property over time.

User-submitted inspection PDFs
Public permit and assessor data
Structured property details such as age, size, and reported condition
AI-assisted extraction and issue grouping from uploaded reports
Geospatial context and map enrichment when available

Limitations

Trussly scores are estimates, not guarantees. They do not replace a licensed, in-person inspection, and they may be less accurate when public records are sparse or the uploaded source material is incomplete.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are scores?

Scores are directional decision-support signals based on the data Trussly has available. Accuracy improves when uploaded inspection reports and richer property context exist.

How often do scores update?

Scores can change when an approved inspection report is processed, saved-home activity triggers a refreshed view, or newer property data becomes available.

Can inspectors override AI findings?

Approved contributors can upload reports that materially influence the property score and issue list. Admin review remains part of that workflow before new findings are surfaced publicly.
