Prioritized summary pages agents and clients actually read
A 60-page report with 40 findings protects you legally but buries the three things the buyer must act on — and agents complain nobody can tell the safety hazard from the loose doorknob. AI is good at reorganizing text; the guardrail is that severity stays your call. InterNACHI-linked guidance is blunt that current AI can't reliably distinguish cosmetic from structural issues.
You are organizing findings from a completed home inspection into a one-page summary. I am the licensed inspector and I have already classified every finding. Your job is grouping and clarity only — not judgment. My findings list, each with my severity classification: {{findings_list}} Report context: {{property_descriptor}} Produce a summary with exactly these sections, in this order: 1. Safety Hazards 2. Major Defects 3. Items Recommended for Repair or Further Evaluation 4. Maintenance and Monitoring Items Rules: - Place each finding in the section matching MY classification. Never move a finding to a different tier, merge findings, or drop any. Never add a finding I did not list. - One line per finding: location + issue + recommended action, maximum 20 words. - Plain language a buyer and their agent can skim; keep trade terms only where precision matters. - End with a count check line: "Summary includes X of X reported findings" so I can verify nothing was lost. - No overall opinion of the house, no "this home is in good/poor condition" statement, no cost estimates.

SAFETY HAZARDS (2) - Electrical panel: double-tapped breaker on circuit 14 — repair by licensed electrician. - Water heater: TPR valve discharge pipe missing — install by qualified plumber. MAJOR DEFECTS (1) - Roof: hail-damaged shingles on south slope — evaluation by qualified roofing contractor. ITEMS RECOMMENDED FOR REPAIR OR FURTHER EVALUATION (1) - Northeast bedroom: ceiling water stain below hall bath — plumbing evaluation to locate source. Summary includes 41 of 41 reported findings.
The full workflow
- Export your findings list with severity tiers from your report software.
- Strip the address, run the prompt.
- Verify the count-check line matches your report exactly.
- Spot-check that every safety item landed in the safety section.
- Paste into your report's summary page.
Watch out for
AI cannot reliably distinguish cosmetic from structural issues — severity classification is professional judgment made on site; the model only formats what you already decided.
Verify the count check every time: language models drop list items silently, and a safety hazard missing from a summary page is exactly the omission that turns into a claim.
