Tools We Use
The Stonix Forensic Toolkit: Precision Meets Protection
At Stonix, we replace the “guesswork” of traditional estate transitions with millimeter-accurate data. We utilize a specialized suite of forensic-grade hardware to ensure that every asset is accounted for and the property is fully protected.
3D Spatial Intelligence:The Digital Twin
We use the Matterport Pro3 to create a high-fidelity, LiDAR-powered replica of the entire estate. This is the cornerstone of our “frozen in time” audit process.
The Use:
Capturing a complete 3D blueprint of the home, including structural dimensions and the exact placement of all contents.
The Value:
Allows heirs to virtually walk through the home from anywhere in the world and provides architects or contractors with precise measurements for future work.
The Result:
A permanent, unchangeable record of the estate’s "Day 1" condition.
Forensic Asset Documentation
For high-value items—fine art, jewelry, and antiques—standard photos aren’t enough. We deploy the Ricoh Theta Z1 to capture professional-grade detail.
The Use:
23MP 360-degree "spot shots" that allow us to zoom in on serial numbers, artist signatures, and existing hallmarks.
The Value:
These images are "pinned" directly into your 3D Digital Twin, creating a searchable, visual database of the estate’s wealth.
The Result:
Indisputable proof of condition and identity for insurance and probate records.
The Liability Shield: 8K Video Verification
To protect the fiduciary from claims of property damage, we use the Insta360 X4 for comprehensive environment sweeps.
The Use:
Recording ultra-high-resolution 8K video of every floor, wall, and ceiling before and after the logistics team enters.
The Value:
Captures details invisible to the naked eye or standard cameras, providing a "360-degree witness" to the home's condition.
The Result:
Absolute protection against damage claims from buyers or heirs during the handover.
Digital Chain of Custody & QR Integration
Our physical logistics are managed through a real-time digital dashboard and the Brother QL-820NWB labeling system.
The Use:
Printing encrypted QR codes that are physically attached to every high-value crate and box.
The Value:
Scanning a box instantly reveals its contents, forensic photos, and its exact "intended destination" (e.g., Heir A, Auction House B).
The Result:
A transparent, digital supply chain that ensures no item is ever lost or misplaced.
iGuide PLANIX R1
The Use:
Deploying advanced LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and 360° imaging to capture millimeter-accurate dimensions and layouts of the entire structure.
The Value:
Eliminates measurement errors and "guesstimates," providing a high-fidelity digital twin that serves as a USPAP-compliant baseline for valuation and insurance.
The Result:
An interactive virtual walkthrough and professional-grade floor plans that offer total transparency for out-of-state heirs, attorneys, and insurers.
