Frequently Asked Questions
What is CATO?
CATO is Latii's AI-powered takeoff agent for window and door professionals. It uses advanced computer vision and AI to extract measurements, specifications, and quantities from architectural drawings in minutes instead of hours—reducing errors and freeing your team to focus on winning more jobs.
How accurate are the takeoffs?
CATO delivers commercial-grade accuracy exceeding 90% on validated features. We only release new capabilities after rigorous testing confirms they meet this standard. While accuracy can vary based on drawing quality, you can expect over 90% of extracted information to be accurate. CATO's built-in reconciliation tools make validation fast and intuitive, ensuring you maintain full control over the final output.
Can users review and adjust quantities before finalizing?
Absolutely. CATO's workflow is specifically designed for human validation. You have full control to review, edit, and adjust any extracted value before finalizing your takeoff. Think of CATO as your AI copilot—it does the heavy lifting while you make the final cal
What ROI can I expect?
The numbers speak for themselves: at $35 per takeoff, companies processing 500 takeoffs annually save approximately $18,000 in direct costs—that's a 45% ROI on labor alone. Factor in the ability to quote faster than competitors and reduce costly fabrication errors, and the business case becomes even stronger. Typical ROI timeline: Week 1 for setup, Week 2 for first automated takeoffs, Month 2 for full ROI realization.
How does this fit into existing estimating workflows?
CATO is designed to replace traditional PDF annotation and counting tools—the tedious first step in your estimating process. It seamlessly connects with your existing CRM and fabrication software through customizable export formats, meaning your downstream workflows remain unchanged while your takeoff speed dramatically increases.
Can we see what the AI identified and why?
Yes. CATO provides full traceability—every extracted line item links directly to the specific location in your drawings where it was identified. This transparency lets you verify extractions instantly and builds confidence in the results.
What does the product handle well today?
CATO excels at extracting data from Window and Door Schedules and Tables—the documents that typically contain 80% of takeoff information. The Q2 2026 update will expand capabilities to include Floor Plans, Elevations, competitor quotes, spec books, and email correspondence.
How long does a typical takeoff take?
It depends on your source documents. Projects with primarily schedules and tables see over 90% time reduction. Even complex projects with multiple document types typically see 50% or greater time savings. What once took 4-8 hours now takes 1-2 hours or less.
Who owns the uploaded drawings and data?
You retain full ownership of all your data. Latii uses uploaded documents only to improve model performance, and this is done using aggregated, anonymized data that cannot be traced back to your specific projects or clients.
How is pricing structured?
We offer transparent, value-based pricing with two main plans: TAKEOFF at $99/month (40 AI takeoffs included) and QUOTING at $499/month (150 AI takeoffs plus unlimited quotes, available Q2 2026). Top-up packages are available if you need additional takeoffs. Enterprise plans with unlimited usage and dedicated support are available—contact our sales team for details.
