UAD 3.6 Report Writing Concept

[cashcatz]

I've been playing around with some ideas regarding UAD 3.6. The UX/UI never quite felt right to me with existing report writing solutions even with the old forms. It seems like these things should be "inspection-first" where the inspection data is assisted with some optional AI classification and flows directly into the report (pre-fill some fields automatically).

The idea here is you use a mobile app for the inspection where the photos are automatically classified, tagged and grouped, voice notes with transcription (optional for those who like to dictate), LiDar for interior scans (maybe, if the tech works). Then the dictation and transcript, photos, etc syncs to the report writing app. I've got a basic concept for the inspection app working sans-LiDar.

Here's some concepts for a web app, which is intended to be both keyboard navigation (same shortcuts as TOTAL) and touch friendly and quick lists shown when not too long instead of behind endless menus:

- Inspection view: https://appraisal-flow-reports.vercel.app/views/inspection.html (this would come from mobile app, but editable in web app)
- Report view: https://appraisal-flow-reports.vercel.app/views/report.html (aligns with 3.6, relevant section is noted)
- Report preview: https://appraisal-flow-reports.vercel.app/views/preview.html (click the side menu for navigation to specific section)

Does this layout make sense? Intuitive? Dumpster fire? What's missing?

Fire away.

As far as I am concerned. Any software should use the 'KISS" approach. Make all of the bells and whistles you want as add ons or optional functions. But don't shove them down my throat

I'm doing a UAD export in the background. AI can handle much of the UAD work, but of course, that leaves many details.

For the app I have, you do a narrative report first, then the UAD is an export. It's, of course, more time-consuming. I expect cluster analysis, Mars regression, ANSI-standard floor plans, and the RCA method. I also plan on handling commercial and equipment. I regard GSE/UAD issues for what they are.

And I use Prolog to digest all pertinent laws, regulations, and guidelines. And so on. I target appraisers without much regard for KISS. So, I AM in a different market. I expect strict protocols to be followed, monitored, and audited.

I want to make an app that could be used to appraise a nuclear reactor. Hey, the gal who used to teach my DataBridge program classes at Red Pepper/Peoplesoft/Oracle has a nuclear reactor software company. I should contact her when I get so far!

I wouldn't do a UAD, except I find appraising houses, the way they should be appraised, interesting.

I think you have done a pretty good job, as far as I can tell. You need to add style, of course, which I am sure you are leaving for last.

As to your appraisal report presentations/views, yes, of course.
