A complete walkthrough of the sqout documentation process — what happens, when it happens, and what you receive.
Visit sqout.co/book, select your documentation tier, and provide the property addresses you want observed. You tell us what to focus on — noise concerns, natural light, storage, observable landlord interaction, parking. We take it from there.
Payment is processed securely via Stripe. You receive a confirmation email within 5 minutes of booking.
A trained, certified Scout in your target market is assigned to your documentation job. They review your priorities and notes before visiting. AI assists in matching Scouts to markets and flagging any protocol questions before the visit.
You receive a notification when your Scout is assigned.
The Scout follows the sqout standardized documentation protocol — the same steps, the same categories, the same thoroughness on every visit. Nothing improvised.
After the visit, the Scout submits their documentation. AI assists in reviewing report consistency — checking that all 8 categories are scored and justified, that photo documentation is complete, and flagging any drift from the standardized protocol before the report is finalized.
This consistency layer is what makes sqout reports directly comparable across properties, markets, and Scouts. The human does the observation. The protocol and AI ensure the documentation is standardized.
Your complete documentation report is delivered to your email within the timeframe for your tier — 24 hours for Snapshot and Same Building, 48 hours for Dossier and Full Scout.
For the Full Scout tier, a separate email schedules your 15-minute findings call with your Scout to review documented observations.
Sample report — fictional property for illustration only. Actual reports contain full photo documentation.
"South-facing windows produce significant natural light all morning — notably better than listing photos convey. Landlord arrived within 5 minutes of scheduled time, answered all questions directly and without hesitation. Building hallways clean and well-maintained. Secondary bedroom closet observed to be smaller than primary listing photos suggest — approximately 60% of the implied size. No moisture observed under sinks. Street noise minimal at 10am visit time."
The standardized protocol is what makes sqout reports directly comparable across properties. Scores are based on observable conditions only — not opinion or preference.
