An inspector's real work happens in the field: looking, measuring, deciding. The write-up is the tax on that work — the same observations re-typed into the same template, the same code sections looked up to justify the same corrections, at a desk, at the end of a day that was supposed to be spent inspecting.
The raw material already exists the moment the inspection ends: photos, voice memos, a few lines of notes. The workflow starts from those.

What changes day to day
- The report is waiting, not looming. Drive back from the last site and the drafts are queued for review — signing four reports takes the time re-writing one used to.
- Corrections become follow-ups automatically. Each correction carries its deadline and re-inspection date into the queue, so nothing rides on someone remembering.
- The same voice, every inspector. Reports come out on the department's template with the department's phrasing, whether they were drafted from a veteran's shorthand or a new hire's paragraphs.
