Field notes in your first language - why it matters for sealed reviews
Roughly a third of Ontario's licensed engineers were trained outside Canada. When an engineer mentally translates field observations into English before capturing them, the observations get shorter, vaguer, and slower. Fermito accepts voice and text input in 15+ languages and produces the draft in professional English.

What belongs in a sealed field review template - and what engineers add back by hand every time
A good template is not a blank document. It is a structural commitment to what a defensible field review looks like, encoded so the engineer does not have to re-invent the format on every visit. The gap between what most off-the-shelf templates contain and what a defensible sealed review actually requires is wider than it looks.

The next sealed engineering documents AI drafting should reach - and the order that matters
Not all sealed engineering documents are equally ready for AI-assisted drafting. The readiness depends on three factors: how standardised the document structure is, how much it relies on narrative prose versus computation, and how concentrated the buyer persona is. The sequencing is the strategy.
