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.
