Accuracy

How we test accuracy

Accuracy is the first question everyone asks, and it should be. Here's exactly what OneRound checks, how we test it today, and where its limits are.

What every review checks

• Every spec requirement in the section you upload, against every page of your package, with the page where each one is shown or missing.
• Scope gaps: "by others," NIC and excluded notes on work the spec assigns to your trade.
• Finishes: primer, galvanizing, shop vs. field paint, color and fire-rated coatings against the spec.
• Dimensions and "field verify" notes on things the contract documents already show.
• Package completeness: required product data, calcs, seals, certifications, warranties and samples.
• Prior A/E comments on a resubmittal, one by one.

The review follows a written standard: a GC project engineer's review playbook, plus trade checklists for the deepest sections (see coverage).

How we test it today

We built a fictional misc metals test package, Acme Misc Metals, with 10 problems planted on purpose: the kinds of issues that get real submittals returned. On that test package, OneRound caught all 10. You can see the full result in the sample report.

A planted test is a starting point, not proof on real work. That's what the beta is for: trades are running real packages and telling us what the review caught, what it missed and what the architect returned. We'll publish those results once we have enough real reviews to be meaningful, and we won't publish numbers we can't back up.

Rules the review follows

• No guessing. If something can't be verified from the documents you uploaded, it's listed under "What this review couldn't check," not marked as compliant.
• Evidence for every finding: the page, the spec article and what to change.
• Contract documents govern. Findings are tied to your project's spec, not to general rules of thumb.

Known limits

• Documents you don't upload. If an addendum or drawing changes a requirement and it isn't in the upload, the review can't see it. Use the addenda and drawings slot.
• Scanned PDFs. Image-only pages can be read, but markups may land in the margin instead of on the exact spot. Running OCR first helps.
• Very large packages. Large files are fitted to the review's limits. When that happens, the report says so.
• Judgment calls. OneRound is a pre-submission quality check. It isn't an approval or an engineering review, and the architect/engineer of record still decides.

When it misses

That's what the OneRound Guarantee is for. Fix everything in your paid report, and if the architect still returns it Revise and Resubmit for something we should have caught, we'll refund that report or re-review your resubmittal free. Every report also has a feedback box, and every miss you report goes straight into the next version of the review.
