Why we exist
Every expensive mistake begins with something someone didn't know, didn't see, or didn't understand in time.
By the time a buyer is asked to decide, the information they need technically exists. It's in the inspection report, the disclosures, the SPQ, the permit record, the addenda. It's just spread across hundreds of pages written by different people for different purposes, none of them written for the buyer, and none of them cross-referenced against each other.
So the buyer does what anyone would do: they skim, they trust, and they sign. Not because they're careless — because there isn't time to do anything else, and because nobody in the room is paid to make those documents make sense to them.
Most tools in this category stop at summarizing the inspection report. We think the value is in what happens after that: comparing documents against each other, checking them against the public record, and saying plainly which differences matter.
Where the name comes from
To limn is to outline — to illuminate what was hard to see. That's the whole job description.
The company was formed as Liminal Spaces, Inc., after the liminal space in a transaction: the threshold between having the information and having to decide. That's the moment we build for. In 2026 we shortened the name to Limn Pro Inc. — the same company, unchanged in every way but the name, which now says what the product does rather than where it happens.
Where it started
Our founder bought a house with defects that surfaced after closing, and spent the following years in the machinery that follows: forensic architects, structural engineers, MEP consultants, mold testing, competing repair estimates, and litigation.
One detail from that experience shaped this product more than any other. Five professional estimates were produced for the same repairs on the same house. The highest was more than five times the lowest. Not five percent apart — five times over. Every one of them was prepared by a credentialed professional, and every one was defensible on its own terms.
A single number is a false comfort. What a buyer actually needs is the range, the assumptions behind it, and the documents each figure rests on — so they can see where the disagreement lives instead of being handed one estimate and told to trust it.
That's why Limn Pro reports show cost ranges rather than a single figure, cite the document and page behind each finding, and tell you when the public record is silent instead of treating silence as good news. It isn't a design preference. It's what we wish someone had done for us.
What we're building
Limn Pro exists to turn uncertainty into clarity and leverage. Concretely, that means building the layer that turns raw findings into something a buyer can act on:
- Permit histories that reveal the story of a houseWork done, work permitted, and the gap between the two — laid out as a timeline instead of a search result.
- Costs that separate urgent from eventualAn estimated bill of materials where we can build one: likely products, quantities, and ballpark unit prices and labor hours, so a finding becomes a number you can reason about.
- Disclosure gaps, side by sideWhat the seller said, next to what the inspector found, with page numbers. The gap between them is often the most valuable thing in the report.
- A draft ask you can work fromItemized and document-referenced — a starting point to edit and take to your agent, not a form letter and not a finished demand.
We're not trying to replace inspectors, attorneys, or agents. Every one of them knows things we don't, and the report says so on every page. We're trying to make sure that when a buyer walks into a conversation with any of them, they already know which questions matter.
How we try to be honest
This is a product that tells people things about the largest purchase of their lives. A few commitments follow from that, and they're enforced in the code, not just stated here:
- Silence is not an all-clearPublic-record coverage varies by jurisdiction, and some authorities publish nothing at all. Every report names the sources we actually reached, so an empty result reads as "we found nothing published" rather than "nothing exists."
- Ranges, not false precisionCost figures are planning estimates with the assumptions attached. They are not bids, and we don't dress them up as bids.
- The disclaimer is not fine printLimn Pro is document analysis, not an inspection, an appraisal, or legal advice. That statement rides on every report rather than hiding behind a "learn more" link.
- Deletion that actually deletesYou can delete your account yourself, and what goes and what stays is written down in plain terms. See the Privacy Policy.
- A human on the other endSupport is answered by the people who build the product. Nothing about a disputed finding gets waved off before an engineer has looked at the actual report.
Where we are today
We'd rather tell you exactly where this stands than imply more than is true.
- January 2026Company incorporated in California.
- Spring 2026Engine, document pipeline, and public-records integrations built out.
- June 2026First end-to-end reports produced on real properties with real documents.
- July 2026Private beta opens. Consent, data-rights, and deletion machinery ships alongside it, on purpose, before the first outside user rather than after.
Limn Pro is early. We are a very small team, the product is in beta, and we have no customer testimonials to show you because we don't have any yet. When that changes, this page will say so — and not before.
