What this looks like on a phone
The checklist above is a workflow, not a document. Which changes four things.
- One question at a time, so nothing is skipped
- The tag is scanned, so the record cannot be filed against the wrong unit
- A failed check raises tracked work with the photo already attached
- The report exists the moment the last question is answered
