WIP documentation QA
One auditor hand-checked every open job five or six times. Once the equipment was pulled, a gap could not be fixed and the carrier cut the bill.
Audits every open job overnight against the shop's own rules, reading the notes, photos and dry logs. The auditor starts the day with a ranked list and the fix for each gap.
Documentation gaps were costing 5.3 points of margin
63% of 250 closed claims carried a gap; those collected 5 points lower and 13 days later. On $10M of billing, about $500k a year is at stake.
