Outcome
Defend every finding
Every finding cited to the clause and the sheet it came from.
The report goes out under your name, and the regimes around it have tightened: the documents behind a certification are discoverable, and the exposure attaches to the assessor. The review that supports the report is often a checklist and an experienced read under schedule pressure, and it lives in the assessor's head.
CIM returns each finding with the clause it fails and the drawing it was found on, and keeps the read for every issue - dated, complete, and cited - alongside the report it supported.
When a finding is questioned, the answer is the clause and the sheet. If the review is ever examined, it is a document, dated and complete.
Before CIM
- The review behind the report exists in someone's head.
- A challenged finding is defended from memory.
- The read is a checklist under schedule pressure.
With CIM
- Every finding cited to the clause and the sheet.
- A dated, complete read kept behind every issue.
- A challenged finding answered with the source.
