How Verinode mines your job process to show where time is lost between milestones.
Audits and findings
Run audits, track findings, and close the gaps that put compliance or quality at risk.

How Verinode handles routine work autonomously so you can focus on decisions.
"Adherence: how often your jobs actually follow the SOP"
Writing an SOP is the easy part. The hard part is knowing whether the field is actually running it. The Adherence panel answers that one question directly: of the jobs your team closed out in this…
"Processes: your SOPs, standards, and how work actually flows"
Processes is where Verinode reads how your crews actually run a job, next to how your own SOPs say they should run it, next to what IICRC, LEAN, OSHA, EPA, and your state's standards say a job like…
Active and Closed survey lists
**Active** and **Closed** are two of the four scroll-snap cards inside the Forms overlay, the same overlay you reach by clicking the hero number, an Explore tile, or a tile in Most recent on the Fo…
Active and closed surveys list
The **Active** and **Closed** cards inside Surveys share one table component. It is the drill-in list where you see every survey you have sent (or drafted) to a vendor, a team member, or anyone els…
Adding a process
Every restoration business runs on procedures that mostly live in someone's head: how a water loss gets scoped on day one, who signs off on a supplement, what the drying-log checklist actually is o…
Adding a process: the capture flow
Processes is where Verinode keeps the standard operating procedures (SOPs) your team actually runs by: how a water job gets scoped, how a fire job gets documented, how equipment gets logged out and…
Adding a process: upload, paste, or let Verinode find it
A Standard Operating Procedure only helps your business if it exists somewhere other than a senior tech's head. This article covers the three things that turn a document, a photo, a voice memo, or…
All Processes: browse, filter, and search your records
Processes keeps three different kinds of record side by side: the SOPs you have written down, the patterns Verinode's agents have noticed in how your team actually works, and the outside reference…
Audits on mobile
A self-audit is a structured checklist you run against your own operation: an IICRC or OSHA compliance pass, a fleet inspection, an intake-quality review. On mobile, the entire self-audit lifecycle…
Audits: the overview
"Audits" is not one screen in Verinode. It is one word that covers two related but different things:
Benchmarks: how your SOPs compare to peers
The Benchmarks tab answers one question your own paperwork can never answer: is the SOP you wrote actually complete, compared to what operators like you are running in the field? Every other tab in…
Building a full survey
A survey in Verinode is a set of questions you send to your own team about a vendor, tool, process, supply, carrier, or TPA program, or straight to the team about themselves. It is one of two ways…
Building a survey: Full vs Lightning
Forms is where Verinode reads the opinions your business already generates and turns them into structured signal: how your team rates a vendor, whether a carrier is worth keeping, how a process act…
By Standard: the IICRC, LEAN, OSHA, EPA and state library
An SOP is your own documented procedure. A standard is somebody else's, the industry frameworks that exist whether or not you have written a step for them: IICRC's S500/S520/S540 water, mold, and r…
By Standard: your IICRC, LEAN, OSHA, EPA, and state library
Restoration work runs against a stack of outside rules: IICRC technical standards, LEAN process discipline, OSHA safety requirements, EPA environmental rules, and whatever your state adds on top. M…
Carrier-readiness audits
A carrier audit is a real event: a TPA or carrier auditor pulls a closed claim and checks whether your documentation, procedures, billing, and sign-offs hold up. The Audits tab is where you run tha…
Choosing an audit template
Every self-audit starts the same way: you pick a template, and Verinode turns it into a run you can work through and sign. The template picker is the modal that lists every audit you can run, tells…
Completing an audit or review run
When you start an audit or a review from Forms, you land in the same completion shell either way: a list of questions, grouped where the template groups them, with a progress bar and a submit butto…
Compliance posture: standards adherence at a glance
Every carrier program you join publishes a set of expectations: which SOPs it wants documented, at what quality bar, and which certifications those procedures imply your team should hold. Those exp…
Confirming patterns Verinode spots
As your jobs move through Verinode, agent specialists quietly log small observations about how work actually gets done: a step that keeps happening before drying starts, a sign-off that recurs on e…
Coverage: service lines, SOPs, certs and program posture
Every service line you run carries three separate readiness questions: do you have a written procedure for it, does your team hold the certifications it implies, and does your documented process ac…
Coverage: which service lines still have no SOP
Every service line you run, water mitigation, fire and smoke, mold, reconstruction, and the rest, needs three things behind it to hold up under a real claim: a written standard operating procedure…
Editing SOP steps
Every documented SOP in Verinode is really one thing under the hood: an ordered list of steps, each with a type, a description, a role, an estimated time, and the equipment it needs. The step edito…
Email, SMS, and how replies come back
Once you've built a survey, Verinode still has to get it in front of a real person and turn whatever they send back into a usable number. This article is about that middle step: how a survey actual…
Excellence (Processes): how Verinode reads your processes
"Excellence" is the name of this help topic, not a page you'll find in the sidebar. If you land here from a search or an old link, the section you want is **Processes**, at `/processes`. This artic…
Explore metrics and confirming patterns Verinode spotted
The **Explore** row sits directly under the Take Action row on your Processes home. It always opens with four metric tiles that read your process coverage back to you: **My SOPs**, **To Confirm**,…
Exporting a form to PDF
Every closed form in Verinode, a self-audit you ran yourself, a review, or a survey you sent to someone outside your company, can be turned into a branded PDF with one click. The PDF is a permanent…
Flow metric detail: where your time goes, vs peers
Every row on the Flow tab, and every tile in the "How your work flows" row on the Processes home page, opens into the same card: one detail view built to answer one question in plain English, then…
Forms on mobile
Forms is where Verinode keeps every survey, self-audit, and program review your business runs: vendor assessments, tool feedback, IICRC or OSHA-style self-audits, carrier program reviews. On the ph…
Forms: surveys, audits, and reviews
Forms is where every structured question you ask, whether of a vendor, a carrier, your own team, or yourself, lives in one place. Under the hood it is a single table of forms: some go out to a thir…
How recipients respond
Every survey you send from Forms eventually lands in someone else's inbox or phone, not yours. This article is written from the recipient's side of that exchange: what the email or text looks like,…
How surveys become signals and decisions
Sending a survey from **Forms** (sidebar Surveys, `/forms`) is only half the story. Once a survey goes out, Verinode IQ keeps watching it in the background, on the same nightly sweep that runs ever…
How your work flows: process mining on your jobs
Most operators can tell you a job took too long. Almost none can tell you exactly where. "How your work flows" is Verinode's process-mining read on your own book: it takes the lifecycle dates alrea…
How your work flows: reading the process-mining row
"How your work flows" is Verinode's process-mining read on your own book. Every job, supplement, recruiting file, incident, purchase, lead, and review you run already carries dates on it: assigned,…

Inside an SOP: LEAN score, steps, waste, and links
Every documented standard operating procedure your team runs, water mitigation, fire and smoke, mold, reconstruction, or contents, gets its own detail card inside Processes. This is the "My SOPs" k…
Lightning surveys and Quick Survey
Most of what your team knows about a vendor, a carrier, a training course, or a new process never gets written down anywhere Verinode can read. It lives in a hallway comment or a quick text after a…
Most recent and upcoming survey rows
Below the response-rate hero and the Explore tiles on the Forms page sit two tile rows that answer two different questions. **Most recent** answers "what have I asked lately, and who's replying?" I…

Patterns to confirm: how Verinode captures your process steps
While your team works, Verinode's specialists quietly notice things: a step that keeps coming up before drying starts, a sign-off habit on mold jobs, a recurring check before a scope change goes ou…
Patterns to confirm: turning observations into SOP steps
While you talk with IQ, an agent listens for a second thing underneath your question: how you actually run your business. If you mention how long a step takes, which chemical your crew uses, who ha…
Performance reviews

Process benchmarks: how your SOPs compare to peers
Every restoration operator runs a version of the same jobs: water mitigation, fire and smoke, mold remediation, contents, reconstruction. What varies is how many steps each company actually documen…
Process findings and Take Action decisions

QA Audits launchpad

Reading the Forms hero: response rate, pass rate, and average
The top of the Forms page is a single dominant number: a big percentage, a colored status pill beside it, a line of context underneath, and two smaller tiles to the right. It is the same panel shap…
Reading the responses feed
Every other list in Forms groups things by survey: one row per survey, with a response count and a rate. The **Responses** card flips that around. Here, one row is one person's answer. If you sent…
Recurring surveys and scheduling
Some questions are worth asking once. Others are worth asking on a rhythm: a quarterly check-in with a key vendor, a monthly pulse on how the crew feels about a new tool, an annual review of a TPA…
Recurring surveys on a schedule
A survey in Verinode is normally a one-shot ask: you send a set of questions to a group of teammates, they answer, you read the results, done. A recurring survey turns that same question set into a…
Related SOPs: the process behind a vendor, client, or asset
Open a vendor, a team member, a piece of equipment, or a carrier/TPA client record, and Verinode has already gone looking for the answer to one question: which of your written Standard Operating Pr…
Running an audit
A self-audit is a checklist you work through yourself against one closed job, the same questions a carrier or TPA auditor would ask: is the scope signed, do the daily drying logs cover every drying…
Running and signing an audit or review

Self-audits: prep for a carrier auditor
A self-audit is a checklist you run against your own closed claim, before a carrier or third-party auditor runs theirs. You walk a recently closed job through the same questions an auditor would as…
SOPs that touch a client, vendor, team member or equipment

Stance, Open Tips and Findings on a process
Processes holds three different kinds of record: an SOP you have written (**My SOPs**), a pattern Verinode noticed in how your team actually works and is waiting on you to confirm (**Pending Confir…

Standards library: IICRC, LEAN, OSHA, EPA, and state rules
Every restoration category carries a stack of rules that were never written down anywhere your team can search: IICRC S500/S520 water and mold procedure, LEAN process discipline, OSHA respiratory a…

Team performance reviews
Reviews is the third tab inside Forms, alongside Surveys (a link an outside recipient answers) and Audits (an operator walks a closed claim the way a carrier auditor would). Reviews is where a stru…
