AI agent for home inspectors
Ancillary Test Lab Result Agent
Every test sample returns a result, and every result is explained to the client in an approved addendum.
What it does
You collect a radon canister on Monday, the lab result comes a week later, and nobody adds it to the report. This agent tracks each sample from collection to the lab result. It records the sample type, date and lab, chases late labs, and checks results against action levels, such as radon at 4 pCi/L. It drafts the report note or addendum. If a result looks wrong, for example a duplicate sample that differs a lot, it asks for a retest. You approve the addendum before it goes to the client. Edge case: a sample that sits past its holding time, like a water bacteria test, is flagged as invalid and a new sample is requested.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Sample collected
- Log sample type, date, lab and expected date
- Check the lab portal daily for results
- Has the result arrived by the expected date?If not: Draft a message to chase the lab and warn the inspector. Back to step 3.
- Compare the result with the action level and holding time
- Is the sample valid and duplicates consistent?If not: Flag for retest and request a new sample or analysis. Back to step 2.
- Draft the addendum with plain language and next steps
- Inspector approves the addendumThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Attach to the report and notify the client
- Test results record
How it decides
It compares each result with the action level, flags invalid samples by holding time or duplicate mismatch, and drafts the matching note.
- Use the published action level for each test
- Chase labs 1 day after the promised date
- Treat duplicates differing by over 25% as suspect
- Mark samples past holding time invalid
