WDO report automation · California · Branch 3
The inspection takes two hours.
The report eats the rest of the week.
Anvil turns an inspector's spoken walkthrough into structured, review-ready 43M-41 findings — so finished inspections stop turning into office work.
Built for operators who feel the report, not the inspection
If your company does real WDO volume — enough that finished inspections queue up as office work — you already know the shape of it: findings retyped from paper worksheets, diagrams redrawn by hand, addresses and dates cross-checked against the calendar, the 43M-41 assembled and filed days after the inspector left the property.
If you run a handful of WDOs a month, you probably don't need this. It earns its keep on volume.
The report is the bottleneck
At one California termite operator we work with, the office spends an estimated 33–54 hours a week turning finished inspections into filed reports. None of that time is inspecting or selling — it's moving information: paper to keyboard, memory to diagram, worksheet to state form.
That's the work Anvil takes.
From walkthrough to review-ready packet
-
Capture
The inspector speaks the walkthrough and marks the diagram on a tablet, during the inspection. Works offline — nothing is lost between the crawlspace and the truck.
-
Extract
Anvil turns the recording into structured findings in the 43M-41's own terms — section, finding and chalk codes, treatment, location. The pipeline is built so it cannot emit a code that doesn't exist in the regulation, and it flags what it isn't sure about instead of guessing.
-
Review
A person confirms every finding before it goes anywhere. Nothing files itself.
-
Report packet
Reviewed findings land as a report-ready packet that fits your existing filing step. The retyping and redrawing is what disappears.
-
Improve
When a reviewer corrects a finding, that correction becomes a permanent test case the system has to pass from then on. It gets better on your reports — and it can't quietly regress.
Built to be defended, not just fast
A 43M-41 is a legal document, so we build to that standard. Every finding traces back to the recording it came from and the exact system version that produced it. The regulation's codes are enforced in the pipeline itself, not left to an AI's judgment. If a report is ever questioned, you can show where each line came from.
A 90-day pilot, held deliberately small
One inspector. One report type — the 43M-41. Running alongside your current process, on real inspections, until it proves itself.
- What we set up: field capture on your inspector's tablet, the extraction pipeline tuned to how your inspectors actually talk, and the review workflow for your office.
- What it asks of you: one inspector willing to talk while they work, and a few hours a week from whoever owns reports today.
- What you have at the end: real numbers from your own operation — report turnaround, office hours recaptured, correction rate — and a decision. No commitment beyond the pilot.
