Vel
A second system checks the first. Ply makes the render; Vel compares it with your approved image and your request, and answers PASS, FIX or UNCERTAIN. It never edits the image.
Independent of Ply
Ply makes every change. Vel only reviews: it compares the result with the approved source and your request, meaning the requested change and the protected elements. It does not edit the image.
Vel reviews Verified and Portfolio renders. Ply Draft and Targeted Edit are not reviewed, and show NOT VEL VERIFIED.
In the app’s Help: Ply and Vel: who does what
PASS, FIX or UNCERTAIN
- PASS: its defined checks passed. The render is VEL VERIFIED, and its credits are charged.
- FIX: Vel found a problem. Ply corrects it once against the approved source, at no extra cost, and Vel reviews again.
- UNCERTAIN: Vel could not decide. The result is delivered as VERIFICATION UNCERTAIN and not charged.
| State | What it means | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| VEL VERIFIED | Vel answered PASS. | Charged |
| VERIFICATION UNCERTAIN | Vel could not decide. The result is delivered. | Not charged |
| ACCEPTED WITH FINDINGS | Vel could not decide, and you accepted the result as it is. | Charged |
| VERIFICATION FAILED | Vel still found problems after the included correction. | Released in full |
In the app’s Help: Vel’s review and its outcomes
Findings
Vel’s review is written on the receipt: the final decision, the number of reviews, and the last review’s findings with category, status, severity and confidence.
A finding’s confidence is Vel’s confidence in that one finding, not the chance that the image is right.
The example in the app’s Help: a Verified Render of a courtyard. Review 1: FIX, major, openings: the left window changed width. Ply corrects it against the approved source. Review 2: PASS. The render is VEL VERIFIED after 2 attempts.

You decide
When Vel is not sure, it says so: VERIFICATION UNCERTAIN. It never turns an uncertain review into a pass.
You can revise the request, or accept the result as it is. Accept with findings marks it ACCEPTED WITH FINDINGS, always written out in full and never in the green of VEL VERIFIED. Your acceptance, with Vel’s findings and your note, is signed and kept beside the receipt; the receipt itself is never rewritten.

What Vel cannot certify
Vel compares images. Its checks are visual: they are not measurements, and they do not cover structure, building codes or construction.
- Vel can miss a problem: a small change in a busy area, or a detail at the edge of the frame, can pass.
- Vel can flag a problem that is not there, for example where a tree or a shadow hides part of the building.
- VEL VERIFIED is a visual review; your eye is the last check. Use the drawings for dimensions or setting-out.
This receipt records Plyvel’s visual checks. It is not structural, engineering, building-code, construction, or dimensional certification.

Vel in the beta
Vel’s review is still being finished. In the beta, Vel is a stand-in reviewer that answers from a fixed script, and the result is your source image, unchanged: its decisions there say nothing about the image.

Vel reviews Verified and Portfolio Renders in the beta. Until its review is finished, Vel in the beta is a stand-in that answers from a fixed script: its decisions there say nothing about the image.
