NightHawk Update - April 2026 |
| The past few months have been busy in the development department. The development team has been laser-focused on hitting our latest milestones. We are now preparing NightHawk for its "shakedown cruise." Here is what you can expect this month:
|
- Early April: NightHawk will receive final GSE verification for public use on live appraisals. This allows us to begin rigorous internal stress testing and demonstrate exactly what NightHawk can do.
- Mid April: We will move into focused beta testing. Our team will work through a series of test properties to identify any bugs or blemishes before moving to a live, end-to-end appraisal process.
- Late April/early May: We expect to open NightHawk for full beta testing for those who have signed up. This phase will include the successful acceptance and completion of a UAD 3.6 order.
|
| We want to thank all of you for patiently waiting for NightHawk. We are incredibly excited about the progress. NightHawk is performing beyond our initial expectations. and represents a significant departure from traditional appraisal software. We can't wait for you to see and try NightHawk.
