THE ACTIONABLE PUBLISHED PRICE LIST PROMISE

1. 1

   Do no harm

2. 2

   Don’t repour the foundation

   The APPL never changes the price or composition of an existing Xactimate line item. Every core structural line item remains exactly as Xactware published it.

3. 3

   Serve every seat at the table

   The APPL is built for the collective benefit of policyholders, restorers, carriers, TPAs, and vendors. A line item that advantages only one party does not belong in it.

4. 4

   Publish everywhere, every month

   The APPL is released into all 432 Xactimate pricing regions on a monthly cycle.

5. 5

   APPL line items evolve

   Components, yields, and supporting events are tuned regularly in response to data points provided by our membership. Meaningful month-over-month change on a new item is the system working, not the system failing.

6. 6

   Members set the agenda

   Every December, each Actionable Insighter is asked one question: which trade is proving hardest to settle at a consistent and reasonable margin? One year the answer may be drywall; the next, cabinetry. We aggregate the responses, publish them in an annual report, and let that data define the APPL’s principal mandate for the coming year: advocating for improvements to the core Xactware price list, and/or deploying novel line items that solve systemic problems.

7. 7

   Prune relentlessly

   Line items that are not adding value are deleted from the APPL.

8. 8

   Neutral by construction

   The APPL is published by a nonprofit trade association, not a materially interested party. Everyone comes to the table with interests, ours included. That is why neutrality cannot rest on good intentions; it has to be built into the board structure itself.

9. 9

   Transparency is in the code itself

   Every line item existing exclusively within the APPL carries “AI” in its selector code, so a single glance tells an estimator whether an item is core Xactimate or an Actionable line item. The same marker appears in the price list name.
