The product is used on real inspections.
Sam uses Hometrace while doing inspection work. That creates a direct feedback loop between field capture, report writing, inspector review, and the client-facing result.
Hometrace still treats the inspector as the accountable professional. AI-assisted suggestions and workflow automation support the work; they do not replace inspector judgment.
For product behavior and limitations, start with the Hometrace documentation or read how the AI-assisted inspection workflow is designed.
