Field Daily Report
Paste (or upload) a raw field report and get a structured daily: crew counts by trade, activities, equipment on site, weather, delays, safety incidents, and notable events.
What it does
Field Daily Report takes unstructured field input — a super's handwritten notes, a text message recap, a photo of a whiteboard — and produces a structured daily log: crews on site (count + trade), activities performed, equipment, weather, delays + cause, safety incidents, T&M hours, notable events.
The output format is consistent across days, so a stack of dailies becomes searchable and queryable over time.
When to use it
- Supers who take field notes in varied formats and want a clean daily report.
- Auditing handwritten field logs for incident documentation.
- Generating owner-facing daily summaries from internal messy notes.
What to upload
- Paste raw field text directly
- Upload a photo (PNG / JPG) of handwritten notes (OCR applied)
- Upload a PDF / DOCX draft daily

Troubleshooting
Handwritten dailies are the hardest case. Use higher-resolution photos, better lighting, and consider typed notes for consistently accurate extraction.
Engine looks for patterns like "3 carpenters" — if the notes say "Dan, Mike, Kyle on framing," the engine won't count correctly. Edit the row manually.
