Great question! With inspection reports there is typical commentary/phrasing that inspectors use in each of the reports. Since companies give us access to their historical reports we can fill in their report with this typical commentary by drawing context from their short notes.
Additionally, with applications such as environmental assessments, standards may need to be referenced. So the LLM may draw from those standards to fill in the report as well.
I appreciate your perspective, and while I agree that owners often drive sales decisions, I have to disagree on the idea that they don't care how inspections are performed.
In our experience, owners do care because inspection practices directly affect the quality, consistency, and timeliness of the final reports delivered to their clients. These reports significantly influence client satisfaction and future business decisions.
We’ve spoken with end clients who receive these inspection reports, and they consistently tell us that the quality of the documentation plays a major role in their choice of consulting partner. So while integration with existing systems is critical, we also believe strongly that the usability and quality of the product matter, because they shape the company’s external image.
