Gather and rank facade views before generation.

An address is not an image prompt.
ScooScoo turns an address or uploaded photo into architectural artwork. The system has to identify the right building, keep it recognizable, and deliver a paid asset without duplicating work.
My role
Product, architecture, interface, generation pipeline, commerce, and operations
Core decision
Treat reference selection as its own product stage
Operating proof
Live address and upload paths with queued generation and download delivery
Choose the right reference
An address can return a front view, a wide street view, an oblique angle, or the wrong building. ScooScoo gathers several candidates, ranks facade quality, and asks the customer to choose when confidence is low. An upload becomes the primary reference. Context images can guide the composition, but never replace the building.
Photo
Use the uploaded image as the primary reference.
List
Queue several properties through the same job flow.
The pipeline
Gather
Fetch possible views and cache them against a stable input hash.
Select
Rank facades and send low-confidence cases to customer choice.
Direct
Choose up to two references and write structural instructions.
Generate
Require a valid reference and director brief before starting.
Deliver
Store the clean original, watermarked gallery media, and customer download.
Paid job states
- 01Lock the requestPersist payment and job state before the worker starts. Repeated requests return to the same job.
- 02Wait for evidenceIf the facade is uncertain, wait for customer selection or an upload.
- 03Run the workerMake status transitions, timeouts, and retries explicit.
- 04Deliver or refundSuccess produces the download and delivery email. Terminal failure follows the refund path.
Low confidence is a product state, not a log message. The selection gate prevents the wrong building from consuming the rest of the pipeline.
