Feature · Photo-validated scope

Photo-validated scope — before the truck rolls.

Treadscope reads the photo and the contractor notes against the manufacturer spec library and returns a verdict — "Ready for first cut" or "Review needed" — with cites attached. The substrate, material, moisture, and underlayment all surface in the same ticket the foreman reads the morning of the measure.

The verdict chip the foreman sees the morning of the measure.

The screenshot below stands in for the live /scope/[id] view — the verdict chip plus the four spec-library flags in the same card the dispatch team reads at booking time.

How it works

From a phone photo to a verdict in three steps.

No eyeballing on the dispatcher's end. No hand-off to the call-center. The notes and the spec library do the work; the foreman reads the result on the morning of the measure.

  1. 01

    A photo and a few notes at /scope.

    The foreman snaps a job-site photo and types a short note about the substrate, material, and access. The submission lands in the queue with the contractor notes attached — never a hand-off to the call-center.

    • /scope
    • POST /api/scope-submissions
  2. 02

    A spec-library match against the photo.

    Treadscope runs the notes through the manufacturer reference library — substrate, material, moisture, and underlayment each checked against the right TDS line. Cites are attached to every flag so the verdict is auditable, not vibes.

    • /admin/specs
    • runScopeCheck()
    • Forbo-TDS-002
  3. 03

    /scope/[id] returns a verdict.

    The detail ticket lands as "Ready for first cut" when substrate and material are both detected and no warning condition was raised — otherwise it reads "Review needed" with the cites that explain why.

The math

Why a mis-scoped install costs more than a callback.

Same calendar week the crew booked

An installation that misses the substrate is the same calendar week the crew booked. The truck rolls, the substrate is wrong, the day is gone — and the homeowner is back on the phone asking why the second appointment is two weeks out. Call it a callback, a re-order, a customer who doesn't take the second call. Multiplied by the weeknight voicemails the home page describes as the missed-call math, it's the wedge of margin a dispatch board leaks in a single quarter.

The missed evening call is where margin goes. The scope check is the same logic applied earlier in the week, to a cheaper question — the substrate call, not the staffing call. Treadscope reads it before the truck is loaded, not after the day is lost.
