Field Daily Report
Field Daily Report is the engine that turns unstructured field notes into a structured daily log. Paste or upload a raw field report and it returns crews by trade, work completed, equipment, weather, issues and delays, safety incidents and action items in the same format every day.

What does the Field Daily Report do?
Field Daily Report takes unstructured field text — a super's notes typed or pasted in, a text message recap, or a draft daily as a PDF or DOCX — and produces a structured daily log: crews on site (count + trade), work completed, equipment, weather, issues and delays, safety incidents and action items.
The output format is consistent across days, so a stack of dailies becomes searchable and queryable over time.
When should I use the Field Daily Report?
Use Field Daily Report when supers keep field notes in varied formats and need a clean daily report, when you are auditing field logs for incident documentation, or when you need owner-facing daily summaries from messy internal notes.
- 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 do I upload to the Field Daily Report?
Give it the field report as text: paste or type the notes, or upload a PDF or DOCX draft daily. A photo of handwritten notes is not read, because there is no OCR on this path.

Troubleshooting
Expected — this engine has no OCR, so an image contributes no text at all regardless of resolution or lighting. Type or paste the notes instead.
Engine looks for patterns like "3 carpenters" — if the notes say "Dan, Mike, Kyle on framing," the engine won't count correctly. Correct the counts in your notes and run it again.
