/ AI cosmetic grading
One grader. Every shift. No more grade drift.
Stenfox Orion's computer-vision model grades cosmetic condition against a single, fixed scorecard. Two photos in, one grade out — replayable, defensible, and mapped to whichever channel grade ladder you sell into. Variance drops from ±2 grades (human graders) to ±0.3 grades (Orion).
What you get
Two-photo capture
A guided capture flow ensures lighting, angle and frame are normalised before the model ever runs. Garbage in is rejected at the camera.
Replayable grades
Every grade is stored with the original photos and the model's per-region scores. A customer dispute is settled in 30 seconds.
Per-channel grade ladder
Map Orion's universal grades to BackMarket, Swappa, Reebelo, Refurbed, eBay Certified and your own channel grades — automatically.
Defect taxonomy
Scratches, dents, cracks, edge dings, port damage, screen burn, frame discoloration — each captured as a labelled region, not a vague 'B' bucket.
Operator override + learn
When a grader disagrees, the override is recorded and feeds back into the next training cycle. The model gets smarter on your inventory.
Photo evidence pack
Sold? Every channel listing gets the same photos that the model used to grade. No re-photography.
/ FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is Orion's AI cosmetic grading?
Against a fixed reference scorecard, Orion achieves ±0.3-grade variance on a six-grade scale across iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and major Android lines, and ±0.5 on laptops and Macs. Human graders typically run ±2 grades depending on shift, fatigue and SKU familiarity. The number that matters: customer dispute rate drops 60–75% after operators move to AI grading.
Does it work for laptops and Macs, not just phones?
Yes. Laptop and Mac grading uses a different capture flow (lid, palm rest, base, ports) and a different defect taxonomy (hinge wear, palm-rest pitting, port damage, screen dead pixels visible without disassembly), but the underlying model architecture and replayability are identical.
Will it match our existing grade ladder (BackMarket, Swappa, etc.)?
Yes. Orion's universal grade is a six-point scale mapped at sale-time to whichever channel grade ladder the listing targets. The mapping is per-channel and per-SKU, so a Galaxy A53 sold on Swappa maps differently than the same device sold on BackMarket. You can also publish your own internal ladder.
What happens when a human operator disagrees with the AI grade?
Override is a one-tap action. The override, reason and operator are recorded; the photos are flagged for the next training cycle. Over time the model learns your inventory's edge cases — fitness for purpose improves, not just abstract accuracy.
How is this different from human grading in Phonecheck or Piceasoft?
Phonecheck, Piceasoft, NSYS, FutureDial and similar tools rely on a human grader following a checklist. The result is fast but inconsistent and impossible to audit after the fact. Orion's grading is consistent across operators and across shifts, and every grade is replayable from the original capture.
