Question 1

What does Meteora IQ do?

Accepted Answer

It reads the elevation readings off your foundation survey and returns deflection and tilt calculations, contour maps, and a 3D terrain model, a complete analysis, with every number traced back to a real reading on the plan.

Question 2

What do I need to upload?

Accepted Answer

A sitemap PDF or image with the elevation readings on it. OCR pulls the numbers off the plan; you confirm the boundary and scale, and the analysis runs from there.

Question 3

How accurate is it?

Accepted Answer

Meteora IQ eliminates human transcription and calculation error, the math runs entirely in software and is repeatable every time. The accuracy of the underlying elevations still comes from your field survey; the tool takes those readings and computes deflection, tilt, and contours exactly.

Question 4

What limits does the deflection and tilt analysis use?

Accepted Answer

Deflection is tested against a threshold you choose, from L/240 through L/720, and tilt against the 1% limit, with the elevation profile shown behind every result so any verdict can be checked by hand.

Question 5

Who is Meteora IQ for?

Accepted Answer

Foundation contractors assessing and pricing repairs, structural and civil engineers producing stamped reports, and home inspectors documenting foundation condition.

Question 6

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a free 7-day trial with no credit card. Upload a survey and see the full analysis before you decide.

Question 7

Do I need CAD software to use Meteora IQ?

Accepted Answer

No. If you have a drawing, upload it; if you do not, the built-in Sitemap Builder lets you draw the foundation and place your elevation readings right in the browser, then runs the full analysis from that.

Question 8

Can I use survey data from other software or tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Meteora IQ reads a sitemap PDF or image from any source: a laser or optical level survey, a relative-elevation floor profiler, a total station, a scanned field sketch, or a CAD export. It works from the plan itself, so there is no proprietary format and nothing to re-key.

Question 9

Is Meteora IQ a complete foundation evaluation, or just one step?

Accepted Answer

It is the whole evaluation in one platform: build or import the sitemap, run deflection, tilt, contour, and 3D analysis, and compile a branded report, without moving data between separate tools.
