Which inspection records could be relevant?
Look for original photos linked to the inspected component, a written finding, the inspector’s review and any follow-up. A folder of unlabeled images is different from a documented inspection history.
Residential surveys, commercial inspections, roofing assessments and building-condition reviews can have different methods and rights. Describe your actual specialty and standards; do not combine incompatible labels just to increase volume.
What connections should you look for?
These are illustrative examples of record structure, not Origin inventory.
| Example | Useful linkage | Limitation to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Roof or exterior defect | Image, component, observed defect, report finding | Lighting, weather, visibility and uninspected areas |
| Moisture investigation | Image, location within the inspection, reading, inspector conclusion | Instrument limitations and unconfirmed cause |
| Repair follow-up | Original finding, repair record, revisit evidence | No follow-up does not prove a successful repair |
| Disputed finding | Initial label, reviewer correction, reason and final report | Expert disagreement or uncertain ground truth |
Is there evidence of a market?
MI Program publicly describes licensing structured property information and labeled imagery. That is a concrete supply-side example. It does not prove that a buyer will purchase every inspection archive or that Origin represents that provider.
Potential tasks include recognizing components, identifying visible defects or testing consistency between photographs and findings. These require different labels, review effort and usage terms.
What should be reviewed before access?
Identify capture dates, methods, image quality, label definitions and whether multiple photos describe the same defect. Record inspector corrections and known disagreements. A report conclusion should not be treated as an independently verified outcome unless that verification exists.
Property addresses, occupants, faces, possessions, security details, client contracts and third-party report material can require separate review. The first conversation should use categories and approximate counts, not actual reports or precise locations.
What should the first brief contain?
Describe your inspection specialty, retained years, approximate photo and report counts, how images link to findings and whether later visits exist. Note which team can explain the methods and what permissions remain uncertain.
Use the company record map or request an initial review. Origin can help organize the description and consider an introduction. It does not certify rights, label accuracy or buyer acceptance. For calibrated spatial archives, read aerial, LiDAR and 3D licensing.
