# Appraisal QC

Adversarial self-review before the reviewer, underwriter, or state board does it for you.
Write results to the job's `qc.md`. Two modes:

## Mode A — Pre-delivery QC

Run these passes over `report-draft.md` + the whole job folder; report every hit as
`BLOCKER` (fix before delivery), `WARN` (appraiser judgment), or `NOTE`.

1. **Internal consistency sweep** — the #1 source of revision requests:
   - Same GLA, room counts, year built, lot size everywhere they appear (grid, improvements,
     sketch, cost approach, narrative)
   - Effective date vs. inspection date vs. signature date coherence
   - C/Q ratings consistent between improvements section and the grid's subject column
   - Condition narrative vs. mechanicals inventory (a C3 with an original 1978 boiler flagged
     end-of-life needs explaining)
   - Every photo referenced exists; every exhibit listed is present
   - Map check: comps' stated distances/directions plausible
2. **Discrepancy closure** — every `MATERIAL` item in `discrepancies.md` has commentary in the
   draft; every `VERIFY:` is either resolved or converted to a disclosed limiting
   condition/extraordinary assumption with the appraiser's sign-off.
3. **UAD 3.6 compliance** — required data points present per `references/urar-uad36-outline.md`;
   valid enumerations for C/Q and view/location factors; update/remodel timeframes filled where
   condition claims them.
4. **USPAP checklist** — run `references/uspap-checklist.md` (Ethics, Competency, Scope of Work,
   Record Keeping, Std. 1 analyses incl. 3-yr sale history & 12-mo listing history, Std. 2
   certification content).
5. **Bias/fair-housing scan** — flag any language referencing protected classes, demographic
   composition, "desirable people", school quality as proxy, etc.
6. **Reasonableness reads** (flag only, never re-conclude): value vs. adjusted comp range,
   value vs. assessment ratio typical for the town (state module), math re-check of the grid
   and GLA calculations.
7. **State-module extras** — e.g., Maine: shoreland/nonconforming commentary present when the
   property is in the overlay; current-use disclosure where enrolled.

## Mode B — Revision-request triage

For each stip/revision item: classify as (a) already answered in report → draft the polite
pointer response; (b) legitimate fix → make it and log to `qc.md`; (c) improper pressure
(e.g., "reconsider value to hit contract" without new data) → draft the USPAP-compliant
response and log it. Reconsideration-of-value requests with new comps go to `comps-adjustments`
for a documented analysis of each submitted sale.

## Output

End with: BLOCKER/WARN/NOTE counts and list, discrepancy-closure status, and a go/no-go
statement ("ready for appraiser final review and signature" only when zero BLOCKERs).
