For your E&O carrier
Last updated: May 19, 2026
A short explanation of how Lookover fits into your inspection workflow — built to be sharable with your E&O insurance carrier or attorney.
What Lookover is
Lookover is software that helps licensed residential home inspectors capture inspection observations (photos and voice notes) and generate draft narrative findings. The inspector reviews and approves every finding before it appears in a finalized report.Nothing is delivered to the client without the inspector's explicit sign-off.
What Lookover does NOT do
- Lookover does not perform inspections. The inspector performs the inspection.
- Lookover does not finalize reports automatically. The inspector finalizes the report.
- Lookover does not communicate with clients independently. The inspector triggers report delivery.
- Lookover does not provide cost estimates, repair pricing, or contractor recommendations. US inspectors are legally barred from these; we adhere to the same standard.
The inspector remains the inspector of record
Every report finalized through Lookover identifies the inspector by name and license number, includes the inspector's company branding, and carries the inspector's electronic sign-off. The AI-drafted starting point is fully editable by the inspector before approval — wording, severity rating, photos included, and recommended actions.
Audit trail
Every report has an internal audit trail recording:
- Which findings were AI-drafted versus inspector-authored
- Which AI-drafted findings were edited by the inspector (and the diff)
- Who approved each finding and when (timestamped)
- When the report was finalized and delivered
This audit trail is available to the inspector at any time and can be exported on request — useful if a carrier requests evidence of professional review practice during underwriting or claim investigation.
Comparison to existing workflows
The Lookover workflow is functionally equivalent to a senior inspector reviewing draft narratives written by a junior assistant or transcriptionist — a workflow that is standard in many inspection firms and has been considered compatible with E&O coverage for decades. The only difference is that the “junior assistant” is software, and the review-and-approval happens in a structured tool rather than email or shared documents.
Standards alignment
Lookover's draft language is written against InterNACHI's Standards of Practice. As of our most recent benchmark (29 representative findings spanning the major property systems), our drafts align with InterNACHI SOP guidance at 86% accuracybefore inspector review. State-specific addenda (Texas TREC, California CREIA, etc.) are added on top of the inspector's own report templates and disclaimers.
Data security and confidentiality
Inspection content — photos, voice notes, findings, reports — is stored in encrypted Supabase Storage with row-level security. The AI providers we use (Anthropic, OpenAI) do not train their models on Lookover customer data by default. See our Privacy Policy for the full data handling details.
