Every inspection report read for gaps before it leaves your office.

An inspector closes out an annual visit at a mid-rise office: a wet riser and a dry system for the loading dock, a fire alarm panel with a few hundred devices, and forty extinguishers. Before the report goes to the property manager and, in many places, to the jurisdiction, someone in your office reads it for blank lines, readings that look off, device counts that don't add up and problems mentioned in a comment but never listed.

In the proof of concept, AI reads the same reports and writes a review sheet for each one: every line it thinks needs another look, the reason, and the earlier report or form item it compared against. It never edits the report, signs it or decides whether a system passes. Your inspection lead checks the flags against the corrections your office really asked inspectors to make.

The form wants numbers and cross-references, not just checkmarks. California's Title 19 wet pipe report, Form AES 2.1, shows how much a single page asks for: the main drain test by riser as initial static, residual and final static pressure; a waterflow alarm time measured against a 90-second maximum; a recalled-sprinkler line that fails if any are present; and a field-service test line marked F until the lab results come back. Each finding is coded D for deficiency or C for comment, and the inspector signs that the equipment is fully operable except as noted. The draft checks that every line has a result, that every F has a deficiency behind it, and that nothing described as a problem in a comment is missing from the deficiency list.

A reading means little without last year's. NFPA 25's main drain test is annual, and quarterly where a system's only supply runs through a backflow preventer or pressure-reducing valve. Residual pressure is compared with the acceptance test where one exists and with recent results; a drop past the standard's threshold means someone has to find the cause. Dry pipe reports carry the valve's trip time and trip air pressure, and on California's five-year forms, pressure gauges come up for calibration. The draft sets each reading beside the building's earlier reports and flags a drop or a missing comparison for your inspector to explain, without saying what it means.

Alarm reports carry the whole visit. NFPA 72's System Record of Inspection and Testing, in its 2013-edition form, is filled in by the testing contractor during the test. It records the monitoring organization and account, who was told before and after testing, with times, battery capacity in standby hours and alarm minutes, supervising station signal and restoration times, and device test sheets for every initiating device and notification appliance. Defects left uncorrected get their own section, and the owner's representative signs to accept the report. Smoke detector sensitivity is checked within a year of installation and every other year after, stretching to as long as five years only when results stay in range and nuisance alarm records are kept. The draft compares device counts with last year's sheets and flags a missing section, a detector due for sensitivity testing with no result, or an unsigned acceptance.

Extinguisher tags and filings have their own rules. Under NFPA 10, the annual maintenance tag shows the month and year, the person and the company. Stored-pressure units on a 12-year hydrostatic cycle, such as dry chemical units, are emptied for an internal examination every six years and get a metal label punched with the month and year; nonrechargeable units leave service 12 years after manufacture. Where your jurisdiction collects reports through The Compliance Engine, your office pays a filing fee with each report, types in the deficiencies and updates them once corrected; St. Charles, Illinois lists 19 system types in its program. The check in this test happens before any filing, inside your office.

What your inspection lead will look for first: flags that match the corrections your office actually requested, gaps the draft missed, false alarms on lines that were fine, readings compared with the wrong earlier report, and any flag that strays into judging whether a system is compliant.

After your inspection lead's yes, the job runs for about 30 days on reports as inspectors turn them in.

Each review sheet goes to a person, never to the customer or the jurisdiction. The inspector who wrote the report makes any correction and signs it as before; the draft only points at the line and says why.

The live job is signed at a fixed price agreed after the test. Deficiency quotes, if they aren't already running, or another job get their own price, and monthly support starts once a job is live.
