Accuracy

The real numbers.

Not a marketing claim — the last measured run, dated, on a photo set the scanner was never tuned against. This page updates every time that number does.

What the scanner gets right

KitID is built category-first: what class of gear something is, its camo, and its rough price tier are the part we're confident enough to lead with. Brand and model are a bonus — shown only with an honest confidence band, never guessed past what the photo actually shows.

91%

Category recall

Right class of gear — rifle, carrier, optic, and so on.

74%

Brand recall

Right maker, when we named one at all.

37%

Model recall

Right specific product, when named.

97%

Honest abstention

When it couldn't tell, it said so instead of guessing.

1

Wrong brands named

Confidently wrong brand calls in this run: one plate carrier named as a Crye JPC. Down from three before the lookalike rules.

What users tell us after

Every result asks “Right?” — the verdicts below are every answer we've logged, not a sample.

46%

Exact

Marked correct as shown.

76%

Exact or close

Correct, or close enough to be useful.

24%

Rejected

Marked wrong — trains the next scan.

n = 98 verdicts logged

“Close” means a user marked the category or general item right but the specific brand or model wrong or missing — the honest middle between a clean hit and a real miss. Every rejection and every close call feeds the correction queue: pick “or <candidate>” on a result and, once it's confirmed, that photo becomes part of the next eval run.

How we measure

We hold a set of photos back and never tune the scanner on them — that's the only way a number here means anything. Every merge to the scanner has to clear hard invariants first: zero wrong brands, zero overclaims, and a confidence cap when the visual “tell” between two lookalike products isn't actually visible in the photo. Brand and model recall are still informational at this sample size — we treat them as a read, not a ship gate, until the labeled set is bigger. Category recall is the number we're building toward next, because it's the layer the product leads with.

Try it yourself.

Every result shows its own confidence — you don't have to take our word for it.
