Gypsum Board (CSI Section 09 29 00) for a hospital with 1-hour fire-rated patient corridors. Sub proposes 1/2 inch Type X panels where spec calls for 5/8 inch under UL Design L501. Life-safety severity escalation fired correctly.
Interior Painting (CSI Section 09 91 23). Sub proposes satin sheen where spec calls for eggshell, FloorScore certificate is "available upon request" rather than attached, and maintenance instructions are missing. Three Fix-and-Resubmit findings, no Blockers.
Acoustical Wall Treatment (CSI Section 09 84 13). Clean submittal that meets or exceeds every spec requirement: NRC 0.90 (vs spec 0.85), Class A flame spread, 60 percent post-consumer recycled (vs spec 50), GREENGUARD Gold certificate attached, samples present, warranty present. AI fired zero deviations.
Every report follows the same architecture: a 1-page Executive Summary on page 1 (verdict banner, severity tally, top 3 findings, Project Manager (PM) signature line), then full-detail deviation cards on pages 2 and beyond. Print page 1 alone if you want a summary to route; print the full document for the complete record.
Each finding maps to one of six Division 09 deviation categories: Manufacturer or Product Substitution, Performance Specification Gap, Missing Certification or Compliance Documentation, Aesthetic Deviation, Detail or Installation Mismatch, Submittal Package Incompleteness. Each carries a default severity (Blocker, Fix-and-Resubmit, or Note-Only) which the AI escalates or de-escalates based on context (life-safety, prior approvals, etc.).
Reports are AI-assisted, not AI-decided. The PM remains responsible for final approval. The PM signature line on page 1 is required.
