California pool inspectors rely on paper forms and manual photo attachment to produce compliance reports, because existing inspection software lacks built-in California-specific templates.

Spectora and HappyCo require users to build California-specific templates from scratch, which is time-consuming and risks compliance errors; horizontal software is overkill for a 1-hour pool job.
