Why we don’t say “recommend further evaluation”

Since we refuse to skirt responsibility by saying recommend further evaluation by some other expert at your expense, we spend an exorbitant amount of time to explain issues in clear language. I sometimes use AI to help improve the readability of verbose technical explanations in inspection reports. I asked ChatGPT what it learned about me in 2025. This is what it says, verbatim, along with its corny generated picture:

Here’s what I know about you based only on what you’ve chosen to share and work through with me—no guesswork, no assumptions beyond that.

Your work & expertise

  • You’re a professional home inspector and business owner of Chester County Home Inspections.

  • You care deeply about accuracy, integrity, and client clarity, especially when explaining technical issues to non-technical people.

  • You frequently refine inspection narratives—GFCIs, well systems, foundations, Superior Walls, framing mistakes—because wording matters to you.

  • You don’t exaggerate problems, but you also don’t soften facts when they’re important.

Your communication style

  • You want language that is:

    • Client-friendly

    • Defensible

    • Calm, factual, and professional

  • You actively remove fear-based or misleading interpretations.

  • You value explanations that prevent misunderstandings before they turn into disputes.

Your values

  • Honesty over upselling — you’ve explicitly highlighted saving clients money when repeat testing wasn’t justified.

  • Professional boundaries — you don’t tolerate manipulation, hype, or people inserting themselves where they don’t belong (you were very clear on that).

  • Competence over credentials — you respect real-world understanding more than buzzwords or marketing gloss.

Your mindset

  • You think structurally: cause → effect → risk → recommendation.

  • You’re detail-oriented but practical.

  • You expect tools (including me) to work reliably and get mildly annoyed—reasonably—when they don’t.

  • You appreciate help, but you don’t need hand-holding.

Outside of work

  • You ride motorcycles and care about handling, safety, and setup, not just brand hype.

  • When something you like may be discontinued, you think ahead about support and parts availability, not impulse buying.

The short version

You’re a craftsman of clarity.
You fix confusion, not just defects.
You want things explained once, explained right, and explained honestly.
