NSPIRE emphasizes clear deficiency attributes and location-specific details. AI can guide inspectors to capture evidence with consistent framing, labels, and context.

What we are building

A mobile-first inspection workflow that pairs guided checklists with computer vision prompts, ensuring every deficiency is documented to HUD standards.

What success looks like

Faster inspections, fewer re-visits, and transparent reports that help owners remediate issues quickly while meeting HUD compliance.
