Overcharges hide in the make-ready bill, and no builder has time to catch them pole by pole. We do. We read every estimate and invoice against your agreement and the rules that govern each charge, flag what you were overbilled, and hand you a packet ready to dispute. On contingency. Find nothing, pay nothing.
The pole owner estimates the work, does the work, bills for it, and grades its own math. No one on your side has time to read every line against your agreement and the rules that govern the pole. So the overcharges sit there, a replacement pole you didn't need, a fee that belongs on someone else's bill, quietly padding what you pay.
Forward it to audit@getpoleproof.com with your signed agreement, or upload it. Review before you pay, or audit after you're billed. That is the whole ask.
Every line item is checked against your agreement, the applicable FCC cost-allocation rules, and the regional benchmark. No one reviews it manually before you see it.
A plain-language summary and, where applicable, a dispute-ready packet with citations and the corrected amount, ready to send the pole owner yourself.
Every invoice runs through four independent checks. Each catches a different category of error, and they compound: a charge can pass one and still fail another.
Line items are compared against the rates, cost-share terms, and scope in your signed attachment agreement.
Charges are checked against FCC Part 1 Subpart J cost-allocation rules, including which party owes what share.
Costs are compared against a growing dataset of what comparable work actually bills at, by pole owner and region.
Invoices are checked against prior estimates and invoices for the same pole to catch duplicate billing and quiet cost creep.
You only see your own invoices.
We see the whole map.
One builder can't tell whether a charge is fair. We can. Every line you send gets measured against what pole owners across your region actually bill, so the moment you're charged above the norm you have the number to prove it. And every audit sharpens that benchmark, so it compounds for you, not for the pole owner.
An estimate you control, based on the applicable FCC cost-allocation rules, not a claim about any client's results. Set your own numbers.
Illustrative, not a quote. Your real number depends on your invoices and your region. On Managed Monitoring the recovery share drops as low as 15%, so you keep even more.
See if a single estimate or invoice has errors before you commit to anything.
Full coverage for an active build. Estimates reviewed before you pay, invoices audited after you're billed. Nothing upfront, ever.
Always on. Every estimate checked before you pay and every invoice after, with a lower recovery share. Scales with your portfolio.
One caught overcharge usually covers a year of monitoring several times over.
See monitoring plans →Managed Monitoring watches both moments a pole owner can overcharge you, the estimate and the invoice, automatically, so nothing slips past on either side of the bill.
Every estimate is checked against your agreement and the applicable cost-allocation rules before a dollar leaves your account. The strongest save is the overcharge that never happens.
Every final invoice and true-up is audited automatically, and anything off becomes a dispute-ready packet you can send yourself.
Start with zero risk: your first month of monitoring is credited against your first recovery, so getting started costs you nothing out of pocket.
For a single active build with one pole owner.
For a multi-utility build at BEAD or RDOF scale.
For a full portfolio across many utilities.

We come from the building side of fiber, and we kept seeing the same thing on job after job. The pole owner writes the make-ready estimate, does the work, sends the invoice, and signs off on its own numbers. The numbers ran high, sometimes well past what the rules allow, and nobody on the build had time to fight every line.
So we built the check we always wanted on that side of the table. Every finding points to a source you can see for yourself: the clause in your agreement, the FCC Part 1 Subpart J cost rule that governs the pole, or what comparable builders in your region actually pay. We don't assert anything without a citation.
You risk nothing to look. Find nothing, owe nothing. Find something, and you keep the larger share.
