Inspector Training
For Inspectors
Operator training for Command Panel, Pic Sync, AI drafting, approvals, travel profit, proof-of-value, and team workflows.
Operator training for Command Panel, Pic Sync, AI drafting, approvals, travel profit, proof-of-value, and team workflows.
- Follow the command panel in order.
- Use the approval gate on every AI draft.
- Open the travel, money, proof, and front-desk guides as the business grows.
SmartStart sells the business system, not just the report writer. Training pages help inspectors onboard fast and stay consistent.
Pick the next useful guide, handout, or assistant instead of trying to decode the whole process at once.
- Open Start Here.
- Create the first inspection.
- Train the team with the module-specific guides.
The first training page for inspectors setting up the system and learning the order of operations.
A second route to the same command-panel training for operators who search by feature instead of brand wording.
Build the first inspection workspace with buyer, property, timing, and assignment details set correctly from the start.
Turn photos or notes into structured findings with system, component, severity, and recommendation fields ready for review.
Review, edit, approve, reject, and bulk process draft findings before anything reaches report delivery.
Voice-only driving mode is for draft capture only. Review, split, and approve after you are parked.
Run QA to catch missing evidence, contradictions, risky words, blank sections, and output blockers before delivery.
Generate a buyer-safe summary from approved findings that explains what matters most in calmer language.
Build realtor-safe repair request language and contractor-ready request text from approved findings.
Use AI draft replies and event tracking for front-desk work without claiming live sending where providers are still missing.

Inspector onboarding checklist for the Command Panel and first inspection workflow.
Checklist for setup, first inspection, photo workflow, approvals, and proof.
This checklist gets a new inspector from login to first usable workflow inside SmartStart.
First login
- Open the Command Panel and review Today's Next Best Action.
- Confirm services, pricing, notifications, and the booking path.
- Check the setup progress card for any missing configuration.
First inspection setup
- Create or open an inspection record.
- Review client, property, and service details before fieldwork starts.
- Open Pic Sync and Voice-to-Report so evidence capture is ready.
First report flow
- Sync photos, create AI drafts, review the approval queue, and publish only after approval.
- Confirm buyer and realtor outputs before sending.
- Review Proof-of-Value metrics after the job closes.
Checklist for approving findings, QA, and final report output safely.
Checklist for draft review, evidence checks, QA, and final approval discipline.
This approval checklist protects report quality before anything is delivered to a client.
Before approval
- Confirm the draft matches the actual condition shown in the photos and notes.
- Check that severity, recommendation, and location are clear.
- Reject or revise any draft that overstates, guesses, or misses context.
Before final output
- Verify required photos are attached to major findings.
- Confirm the buyer summary and repair-request outputs only use approved findings.
- Run QA for contradictions, missing sections, and unsupported language.
Final rule
- AI drafts are never the final word.
- No report should be sent until the inspector approves the findings.
Explain what to click next, what happens after that, and where to find written instructions or videos.
