Writing an inspection report a customer will actually read
The report is the moment the inspection earns money or dies in an inbox. These are the rules we hold our own reports to — and what PrestigeOS drafts automatically vs what your people must still own.
Five rules for a readable report
Name the part, then the plain meaning
“Front brake pads at 2mm — the material that does the stopping is nearly gone.”
Priorities must be honest
If everything is urgent, nothing is. A report that says “this can wait” earns the right to say “this can’t”.
Photo beside the finding
Evidence next to the recommendation, not an appendix.
Numbers over adjectives
2mm beats “very worn”. Measurements survive scepticism.
One next step
End with exactly what you’re asking the customer to approve, and what it costs.
What the AI draft is — and isn’t
PrestigeOS drafts the plain-English wording and priority structure from the bay’s findings. Your advisor verifies the mechanics, adjusts the tone, and owns the recommendation — every report is human-reviewed before it sends. That is a feature, not a limitation. PrestigeOS pricing is public: Founder $200/month + GST (500 AI generations a month — the app’s published founding offer is limited to 10 workshops and closes 31 August 2026 or when the places are claimed), Growth $599/month + GST (1,500 AI generations) and Scale $999/month + GST (4,000 AI generations). Every plan has the full feature set, unlimited staff and mobile + desktop access, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial — current pricing always lives at app.startechprestige.com.au/plans.
