How it works
A finished report goes in. A graded scorecard comes out.
No integrations, no report-software lock-in, no change to how your inspectors work in the field. Inspect Grade evaluates the artifact your client actually receives — the report itself.
Step 1
Add a finished report
Upload the PDF straight from your report software — Spectora, HomeGauge, HORIZON, Tap Inspect, or anything else that exports — or paste the URL of a public web report. PDF is the sure path: some report platforms render their web version entirely in the browser, and those need the PDF export. Either way, it's under a minute of work for whoever runs QA.
- Works with every report platform that can produce a PDF — which is all of them.
- Choose the standard to grade against: TREC, Ohio OAC, or InterNACHI.
- Attribute the evaluation to the inspector who wrote it, so history accrues to the right person.
Step 2
The report is graded against the standard
The evaluator reads the full report the way a senior QA reviewer would — every section, every narrative, every photo caption — and measures it against each requirement of the standard you chose. Not “is the house okay?” but “did the inspector document this house the way the standard, and your reputation, require?”
- An overall letter grade plus a 0–10 score for every required section.
- Findings tagged by severity — deficient, warning, info, positive — and tied to the section they affect.
- Section scores cite the standard (e.g. TREC §535.229), so “why?” always has an answer.
Step 3
Coach with specifics
The evaluation closes with a coaching summary addressed to the inspector: the two or three things to fix before the next inspection, the habits worth keeping, and the sections that need a different level of documentation. Save it, export a branded PDF for the training file, or pull it up in their next one-on-one. Inspectors sign in and see their own evaluations — nothing lands in a drawer.
The scale
What the grade means
Grades are calibrated to documentation quality against the standard — not to how many problems the house had. A clean house and a disaster house can both earn an A.
Publish-with-pride. Every required section fully documented; deficiencies located, photographed, explained, and directed to the right pro.
Solid, professional work with specific thin spots — usually narrative depth or photo evidence in one or two sections.
Meets the letter of the standard but reads checklist-thin. A client can follow it; a lawyer could too.
Required sections missing, unexplained, or marked inspected without evidence. This is the report you want to catch before it ships.
What it doesn't do
Inspect Grade evaluates the report, not the house. It can't know what the inspector saw and didn't write down — which is exactly the point: if it isn't in the report, it didn't happen. It doesn't replace field training, licensing requirements, or your judgment as an owner. It makes all three better informed.
Your reports stay yours
Reports are processed to produce your evaluation and stored only in your organization's account. Evaluations are visible to your owners and to the inspector they belong to — never to other companies. We don't sell data, and report content isn't used to train AI models.
Common questions
How long does an evaluation take?
Minutes. Adding a report is under a minute of work for whoever runs QA, and the graded scorecard — overall grade, per-section scores, findings, and a coaching summary — comes back shortly after.
Do I need to change my report software or how my inspectors work?
No. There are no integrations and no lock-in. Inspect Grade evaluates the finished report your client receives, so nothing about how your inspectors work in the field has to change.
Do I upload a PDF or paste a link?
Either. Upload the PDF export from any report software (Spectora, HomeGauge, HORIZON, Tap Inspect, and the rest), or paste the URL of a public web report. PDF is the sure path — some platforms render their web report entirely in the browser, and those need the PDF export.
Does the grade measure the house or the inspector?
The inspector's documentation, not the house. Grades measure how thoroughly and clearly the report documents the home against the standard you chose — a clean house and a disaster house can both earn an A.
