## What it is

Locoreal (locomotion.is) is a B2B SaaS for independent automotive transmission
shops. It manages work orders, parts inventory, customer interactions, AI-assisted
diagnosis (Analysis A / Analysis B), Tekmetric two-way sync, VIN-gated verification,
and invoicing — all organized around a diagnosis-case as the primary product object.

Commercial editions per location per month (USD, month-to-month, 7-day card-on-file
trial, unlimited staff, 1,000 completed Analysis A/B and refinement generations/month):
- Intelligence: $149 USD / location / month (diagnose alongside your current shop system)
- Full OS: $499 USD / location / month (diagnosis plus full shop operations)
- Voice (optional add-on): $199 USD / location / month (24/7 AI telephone intake with 500 AI-connected minutes/month)

## Notable differentiators

- Diagnosis-case-first operating model: every conclusion is auditable with inputs, evidence, and confidence rationale.
- Transparent per-location pricing ($149 Intelligence, $499 Full OS) with unlimited staff users and no annual contract.
- Houston & Arlington shop booking pages with NAP structured data (PostalAddress, AutoRepair schema).
- Tekmetric add-and-adopt sync: external work orders join the Locoreal diagnosis flow via lazy adoption, never destructive.
