The Usable-Data Spec: five clauses for inspection RFPs

A ready-to-use inspection data specification you can drop directly into an RFP for drone or visual inspection services, so every vendor bids against the same bar. It’s the spec sheet referenced in “The Fastest New Capacity Is the Grid You Already Own,” the playbook Detect produced with Utility Dive.

The Usable-Data Spec open on an iPad, showing the capture standard and acceptance gate clauses

What’s Inside:

Capture standard: shot lists, sharpness minimums, location at capture

Acceptance gate: assessability screening and a stated re-fly threshold

Structure & taxonomy: one defect catalog, one record per structure

Analysis & review: AI screening plus documented expert review

Integration & the record: work-order-ready findings, business-day turnaround

Where This Bar Comes From

Rework (State of Utility Drone Inspections 2026)

15-25% of delivered inspection imagery is reworked
Standardized workflows cut rework to 3-7% within two campaigns
35% of rework traces to location misassociation

Assessability (Detect Data Quality Program)

Sharp imagery: 100% of the defect catalog assessable
Soft imagery: 69% assessable
Blurry imagery: 7%, roughly 18 of 258 defect types

DetectOS asset record for one transmission structure: condition, health score, data confidence, open defects, photos and attributes, shown with demo data
