WALKED · organic

Hire a Pro · DIY · FYI — stamps buyers actually understand.

Also: Spectora alternative · Inspection software · Samples

Inspection reports fail when buyers can’t tell what matters. WALKED stamps every finding with a next step:

Hire a Pro — needs a licensed trade or specialist
DIY — reasonable for a handy owner with clear steps
FYI — worth knowing / monitor — not an emergency hire

Same language on-site (optional stamps) and in the PDF. That’s the consumer-friendly spine of the product.

Kill-shot: They unlock a PDF. We unlock what to do next.

Why three stamps beat a wall of narrative

Fancy software can still leave buyers texting the inspector at 9pm. A longer write-up doesn’t equal a clearer plan.

WALKED’s model:

You capture in Field — snap + short talk (“crack in the driveway”).
Scribe expands into simple buyer language — more useful info, not fluff.
You stamp Hire a Pro · DIY · FYI before the report leaves your hands.

Buyers skim stamps first. Then they read what they need. Reports get finished — not abandoned.

What each stamp means (plain English)

Hire a Pro

The finding needs a qualified pro — electrician, roofer, plumber, structural, etc. Don’t DIY a life-safety or licensed-trade item. The report should make the “call someone” path obvious.

DIY

A handy owner can reasonably address this with clear, safe steps. Not “you must” — a path. Keep the language human.

FYI

Worth knowing or monitoring. Not the fire drill. Stops everything from looking equally urgent.

Optional on-site stamps prove you called it in the field. Same three labels in the delivered report.

Sample findings (fictional — how stamps look in practice)

Finding (example)	Stamp	Why
Active roof leak at valley / wet sheathing	Hire a Pro	Licensed roofing / moisture path — not weekend DIY
Open junction / missing cover in panel	Hire a Pro	Electrical life-safety — call a licensed electrician
Stair-step crack in foundation wall	Hire a Pro	Structural evaluation — specialist, not paint-over
Dirty HVAC filter / grass choking condenser	DIY	Clear owner path when access and steps are safe
Loose gutter hanger / soft debris in valley	DIY or FYI	Scope + urgency decide; don’t panic-stamp Hire a Pro
Cosmetic nail pops / minor drywall hairline	FYI	Know / monitor — not today’s emergency
Older water heater past typical life, no active leak	FYI	Budget awareness — not an automatic panic hire

Sample grid (what to notice in a full PDF)

Sample mix	What to notice
Hire a Pro–heavy	Buyer sees “call a trade” first — not a wall of equal urgency
DIY-heavy	Clear owner path without implying licensed-trade DIY
FYI-heavy	Monitor/know — stops panic-skimming
Mixed stamps	How a real PDF balances all three

Why buyers still text after the PDF

Inspector-facing truth: the PDF arrived, and the phone still lit up — “so what do I do about the roof?” A longer narrative doesn’t answer the next-step question.

Hire a Pro · DIY · FYI stamps triage before the text thread starts. The buyer opens the report and already sees the path on each finding. That doesn’t fire every follow-up forever — but it kills the “what do I do?” ping that burns evening hours.

Same stamps on-site (optional) and in the delivered PDF. That’s the consumer UI.

FAQ

Are Hire a Pro / DIY / FYI industry-standard labels?

They’re WALKED’s consumer-friendly next-step stamps — written so buyers understand without inspector jargon.

Does DIY mean I’m recommending the buyer skip a pro?

No. DIY means a reasonable owner path when it’s appropriate. Life-safety and licensed trades stay Hire a Pro.

Can I stamp on site?

Optional on-site stamps are part of the Field workflow — same labels that appear in the PDF.

Is this just AI auto-stamping?

You stay the inspector. You call the finding and the stamp. Scribe helps with buyer language — it doesn’t invent the finding.

Can one finding get two stamps?

No — pick the primary buyer path. If it’s both urgent and interesting, Hire a Pro wins over FYI.

What if the buyer ignores DIY?

That’s their call. Your job was a clear path. The stamp still beats burying the action in paragraph four.

Do stamps show in the HTML sample and PDF the same way?

Yes — same three labels. That’s the point of consumer-friendly routing.

Who chooses the stamp — me or the software?

You. WALKED doesn’t invent the finding or the stamp. Scribe helps language; you own the call.

Do stamps replace the narrative?

No. They route it. Buyers skim stamps first, then read what they need — so the PDF gets finished.

Why do buyers still text after the PDF?

Because the report didn’t answer the next-step question. Stamps triage — Hire a Pro · DIY · FYI — so the PDF routes the action before the text thread. You still own the call; the stamp just makes the path obvious.

Teaching buyers the three stamps

Buyers don’t speak “deficiency narrative.” They speak what do I do. The three stamps are the entire consumer UI of the report:

Stamp	Buyer read
Hire a Pro	Call a qualified trade — don’t DIY life-safety / licensed work
DIY	Handy-owner path with clear, safe steps when appropriate
FYI	Know it / monitor it — not today’s emergency

How stamps get into the report

Field: snap + short talk.
Scribe: expand to plain buyer language.
You stamp Hire a Pro · DIY · FYI (optional on-site stamps too).
PDF uses the same three labels.

Common mistakes (inspector-honest)

Stamping everything Hire a Pro → buyer panic, ignored FYIs.
Stamping DIY on licensed-trade / life-safety items → liability smell. Don’t.
Writing a novel under FYI → stamp means “not urgent,” keep it short.
