Mitigation invoice review
They cut your invoice. Now find out which cuts you can actually beat.
Some of what a carrier takes off a mitigation invoice is defensible. Some of it isn't. Telling them apart is a specific skill, and arguing the wrong ones costs you more than the money.

Illustrative. Struck lines are not automatically wrong — two of these four usually survive.
What you get
Three things, and you rarely need all three.
Most contractors come for the second one and end up needing the third. The first one tells you which.
MitPro Technical Review
Your file read the way a carrier reviewer reads it. Every reduction sorted into what's recoverable on the record you already have, what's recoverable only if specific documents exist in your job file, and what isn't worth chasing — each with a dollar figure, the standard it rests on, and exactly what would sustain the charge. Findings are organized by position taken, not line by line, because a reviewer who cut the same item from four rooms took one position and it gets answered once.
MitPro Technical Response
A document addressed to the carrier, prepared for your company and issued over your submission — never white-labeled, never signed as though you wrote it. It argues only the items your file can carry. Ordered after the review, never before — if there's nothing worth sending, you'll be told, and there'll be nothing to charge you for.
The MitPro File Standard
The point of the other two is to stop needing them. Your project managers and team leads learn to build a file that reads from first arrival to final equipment pickup — readings, photos and estimate running in the same order, from the area of origin outward. Built on your own reduced files if you want it that way.
Pricing
Published, because you shouldn't have to ask.
Priced on the size of the mitigation invoice, since that's what predicts how big the file is. Payment on order. No retainer, no prepaid blocks, no minimum volume.
You order the review. You don't order the Response. Plenty of files turn out not to support one, so it isn't sold in advance — the review tells you whether it's worth writing, and you order it then if it is. Nothing to refund, because nothing was taken.

How it works
Four steps, forty-eight hours.
Send the file
Your estimate, photos and logs exactly as the carrier received them, plus whatever the carrier sent back explaining the cuts.
It gets read
Line by line against the standard and against what your documentation can actually prove. By a person, not a language model.
You get the number
What's recoverable today, what's recoverable if a specific document exists, what's gone. With the reasoning, so you can check it.
You decide
Send a response, let it go, or fix the process so the next invoice doesn't come back cut. Sometimes the honest answer is the second one.
Who reads your file
The person who used to write the cuts.
Twenty-two years in property claims — catastrophe adjuster, desk adjuster, file review and quality assurance, account manager, and director of claims at a national independent adjusting firm. Hail, wind, hurricane, fire, flood, large loss and commercial.
Most of that time was spent on the other side of this transaction: reviewing mitigation invoices for carriers and deciding what came off. That is the whole qualification. Nobody can tell you which reductions will hold better than the people who wrote them, and almost none of them work for contractors.
MitPro reports carry a name and a signature. They are prepared for your company, never on behalf of it, and they are never rebranded as your own work. If a reduction is correct, the report says so — that is what makes the rest of it worth reading.
