# Inspection Report Summary Buyer Note

## Inputs
Full inspection report, the buyer's stated concerns, the repair addendum draft and the response deadline.

## Workflow
1. Classify every finding into safety, major defect or maintenance, keeping the inspector's own wording.
2. Count findings per category and reconcile with the report's total.
3. Map each safety and major finding to a repair addendum line or a conscious skip.
4. Return the summary without advising on the purchase decision.

## Output contract
Finding | category | inspector wording | addendum line | skip reason | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional report lists 23 findings; the correct split is 5 safety, 9 major and 9 maintenance. A draft summary showing 4 safety items misses the ungrounded outlet flagged in the electrical section. Flag the missing item; the 5-9-9 split must hold.

## Review gates
Re-check that category counts sum to the report total. The summary informs the buyer; it never negotiates or waives anything.
