Win more business

Your experts cover more evidence, in more detail, and reach a first full draft 2-3x faster — so the hours go into reviewing the work rather than assembling it.

Hold a higher standard

One workspace, one set of templates, and every AI claim traced to its source, so work leaves your firm to the same standard whoever produced it.

Scale expertise

What your best people know becomes how the firm works — carried by the system everyone draws on, not by the few who happen to hold it.

Deliverables

Everything a job produces lands in one place, attributed to whoever sent it and searchable from the moment it arrives. Text is pulled out of documents as they land, so evidence is ready to work with rather than waiting on someone to read it.

A template sets the shape of a deliverable — written sections, or a form of typed fields — and carries the instructions for each one. Those instructions are what Vancap Agent works from when it drafts and when it checks, so every report comes out in your firm's format and to your firm's standard.

Draft from the job's evidence, check a claim against its source, read a document in full, or answer a question across everything on the job. It compiles and analyses; it never writes into your report on its own. Every run is recorded stage by stage, and what stands is your decision.

Every statement carries the evidence behind it. Open one and you see the source it was drawn from — a document, a photograph, a note, or a message from the field with its sender and time. Every agent run is kept alongside it: what ran, on what, by whom and when.

Branding is set once for the organisation and the format lives on the template, so every report leaves looking the same whoever wrote it. Photographs attached to the job are numbered and captioned into an appendix automatically, and the export is stored on the report, ready to send.

Pre-purchase condition survey

Description

Commissioned by a lender or acquirer before a transaction completes. States the condition of the asset, what it would cost to put right, and what that means for the price being paid.

Tone instructions

Clear and buyer-focused. The client is making a significant financial decision — be direct about material concerns without being alarmist. Balance technical detail with accessible language.

Sections

  1. 1 Executive summary An overall assessment of the asset's condition, a condition rating, and the key considerations for the prospective buyer. Highlight any material defects or concerns that could affect the purchase decision.
  2. 2 Asset description Full details of the asset: type, make/builder, year, dimensions, configuration, equipment inventory, and any other relevant specifications. Note the asking price if provided.
  3. 3 Scope of survey What was included and excluded from the survey, any access limitations, the conditions under which the survey was carried out, and any areas that could not be inspected.
  4. 4 Structural assessment Findings on structural condition and integrity. Cover all primary structural elements, identify any areas of concern, and provide a clear assessment of structural soundness.
  5. 5 Mechanical & systems assessment Condition of all mechanical, electrical, and ancillary systems. Note age, operational status, maintenance history (if available), and any defects or concerns.

Portfolio condition record

Description

Run across every asset in a portfolio for an owner or insurer. Each asset is recorded the same way, so this year can be set against last year and one asset against another.

Tone instructions

Objective and factual. Record what was observed per element; keep condition descriptors consistent across assets.

1Executive summary

The asset was inspected at its operating berth on 4 August 2026 in fair weather, with full access to the areas listed in the scope of this report. Its overall condition is fair for its age and service history, and no defect was identified that would prevent continued operation in the near term.

1, 2

Two matters require attention before the next operating period: localised corrosion at the base of column line C, and two access hatches that remain out of service pending renewal of their seals. Both are carried into the recommendations, with an indicative programme and cost.

3, 4
2Structural assessment

Localised corrosion was recorded at the base of column line C, consistent with the pattern reported at the previous inspection. The affected area measures approximately 0.4m by 0.6m, with coating breakdown and light surface loss. No reduction in plate thickness was measurable at this stage.

3

Elsewhere the primary structure was found sound. Secondary members, brackets and welded connections in the accessible areas showed no deformation, cracking or displacement, and no repair carried out in a previous period was found to have failed.

5, 6

Two of the four access hatches remain out of service pending renewal of their seals. Both were secured at the time of inspection, and neither affects the integrity of the surrounding structure.

4, 7
PDF Planned maintenance log

“Column line C — coating breakdown and light surface corrosion noted at base. Monitor; recoat at next opportunity.”

Our belief

AI will change what a technical service or advisory firm is capable of

For as long as these firms have existed, what they could take on was capped by the writing time of their most experienced people. That cap is moving. What does not move is the standard: a conclusion nobody can stand behind is worth nothing, however fast it arrived. The firms that gain from this will be the ones whose work can still be checked — line by line, by the person whose name is on it.

Built for firms whose experts other companies rely on

What those experts conclude, other people act on. Vancap is built so a conclusion still holds up months later, when someone asks how it was reached.
