30.2672° N, 98.8719° W — appraisal-grade software
Precision instruments for land appraisal.
One workspace holds your firm's verified comps, statewide parcel maps, the analysis — and a report that assembles itself while you work.
01 — The workspace
Research happens on the map, not in a spreadsheet.
Draw the search area. Filter your firm's verified sales inside it. Every comp you keep is already a grid row, and the map itself becomes a numbered exhibit the moment you capture it.
02 — The job
Five stages. Each one leaves the report further along.
-
Overview engagement
Client, intended use and users, effective date. The letter of transmittal starts filling in here.
-
Subject the property
Legal description, inspection extent, site facts, photos — each lands in its own report section.
-
Comparables your database
Map-first search over your firm's verified sales. The comp grid you build is the grid exhibit.
-
Analysis your judgment
Adjustments, approaches, highest & best use with the four tests, reconciliation. You conclude the value — the platform won't let anything else do it.
-
Report the payoff
The document is substantially built when you arrive. Refine, clear the delivery checklist, sign, save the final version, deliver Word and PDF on your letterhead.
03 — The deliverable
The one light thing on this page.
Your firm sells exactly one artifact: the signed report. Everything in Groundsworth — the database, the maps, the analysis — exists to put that document in your client's hands sooner, cleaner, and defensibly.
In-document review — discussion threads, simultaneous editing without overwrites, and a formal approve / return sign-off.
Final versions — sealed at delivery; download the same exact file years later.
Branded delivery — your letterhead, Word and PDF, including TxDOT ROW and LA DOTD forms.
Workfile custody — retention clock, litigation hold, and a sealed export you can hand to counsel.
Appraisal of 214± acres, Gillespie County, Texas
At your request, we have completed an appraisal of the above-referenced property. Based on the analyses described in this report, our opinion of market value, as of April 2, 2026, is:
04 — Spec sheet
The guarantees, stated plainly.
In non-disclosure states your verified comp database is the moat. These are the rules that protect it — engineered, not promised.
05 — Jurisdictions
Your jurisdiction's rules, built in.
Whether the assignment is a TxDOT right-of-way parcel, a Yellow Book acquisition or a Louisiana DOTD report, Groundsworth already knows the forms, the rules and the deliverable. And once a job starts, its rules are frozen with it — the standards behind a signed report never shift after the fact.

Add your own. Your firm can add its own report types and house standards on the same foundation. Texas-first at launch — national by design.
The appraiser holds the pen.
Value conclusions are yours alone — enforced in the platform's core, not policy copy.
AI is table stakes, not an upsell.
Every seat gets the same assistance. No premium tier holds your tools hostage.
A report version is more than a file.
What you signed is what you get back — exactly, indefinitely.
06 — Early access
Built with land firms, not just for them.
Groundsworth is in development with a small group of land-first practices — rural land, ranch and ag, eminent domain and ROW. If that's your firm, we'd like to talk.
