Your Chalais Score
One number for how much of your home's value is already banked — and how much is still on the table. A modeled estimate: a first read, not an appraisal.
02
The first move
The single change most likely to matter — and what not to waste money on yet. In order, with the reasoning.
03
A first render
The direction on your home's style, so you can judge it with your eyes before you price it.

Before. After.
Every after is a render pointed at by a first read on the same home — same style vocabulary, same property.

BeforeWhy order matters
The sequence protects the budget.
Renovation budgets rarely die on taste. They die on the wrong first project. The first read puts your moves in order — what to do first, what to hold, and what not to price until the smaller move is proven.
- The first move comes with its reasoning: what it’s likely to change, and why it goes before everything else.
- What not to waste money on yet is named outright — not implied.
- Budget bands and phasing keep the big work from being priced too early.
- It all lands in a contractor-ready scope, so the first bid conversation starts from your plan — not a blank estimate.
The execution plan
$49 unlocks the execution plan for your home.
Budget bands, phasing, comps that support it, and a contractor-ready scope. Weighing more than one property or direction? Plus is $49/mo — or $470/yr.
Figures in the plan are modeled estimates — a first read on cost and value, not bids or appraisals.
Before you begin.
- I already have contractor quotes.
- Good — you're exactly who the first read is for. It tells you which scope to act on first, and which line not to price yet.
- Is the number real?
- It's a modeled estimate — a first read, not an appraisal. It tells you where the upside likely is and what's worth studying first, before money starts moving.
- Do I need photos?
- No. Your address is enough to start. Add photos later for a sharper read and better renders.
- What does the execution plan cost?
- $49, one home: budget bands, phasing, comps that support it, and a contractor-ready scope. The first read stays free either way.
