How is grading kept consistent between inspectors?

Sustain360 ships a structured A / B / C component-level rubric with reference images. Inspectors grade against the same prompts, and the grade is attached to the VIN — not to the inspector's phone — so downstream valuation sees consistent inputs.

Where do inspection photos live?

Every photo is attached to the source VIN and stored in the platform. Photos remain available for grading appeals, dispute resolution, listing imagery, and the vehicle's audit trail.

Does grading feed into valuation automatically?

Yes. The valuation rules engine consumes component-level grades as inputs. A B-grade headlight prices differently from an A-grade unit on the same vehicle, automatically, per market.

Can inspections happen off-site, for example at an insurer's yard?

Yes. Inspectors capture on a mobile device against a VIN draft. Photos and grades sync when the device reconnects, with no rekeying at the home yard.

Stage 02 · Inspect

Inspect — the consistent grade.

Inspect is the consistent-grading stage. An inspector grades each incoming vehicle to the same A / B / C rubric before any teardown begins, attaches a photo dossier to the source VIN, and logs damage against OE part references. The grade propagates to every part removed from that vehicle, so downstream valuation sees consistent inputs.

Roles

Who works at this stage

These are the roles that touch the inspect stage day to day. Each role has its own detail page.

Operational

Inspector

Inconsistent grading between staff. Photos live on personal phones. No link between inspection and downstream valuation.

Operational

Expert

Constant interruptions to look up obscure compatibility. No centralised knowledge of past judgements.

Operational

Yard Manager

Cannot see live state of each vehicle. Spreadsheets go stale within hours and there is no audit trail when a part goes missing.
