How it works
Mapped to the pillars of the RICS standard on responsible use of AI.
Sections drafted by AI are tagged automatically.
Tick each AI-drafted section as reviewed by you.
Marking a report complete records your personal affirmation and the time.
Your firm’s AI disclosure appears on the PDF cover and shared reports.
What's included
And the data protection your clients expect.
Each section is marked manual or AI-drafted, with who reviewed it and when.
Completing a report records your affirmation as the responsible surveyor, with a timestamp.
Your firm’s own disclosure text on every PDF cover and shared digital report.
Create a firm AI policy covering governance, risk, data use, oversight, client communications, model inventory, incidents and review.
A plain-English directory of every AI feature: which model, what data, how it’s checked.
AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive fields, role-based access, private surveys, protected share links and RICS-verified accounts.
Good to know
Survey content is used only to produce your report and answer your questions.
It provides the records and documents the standard asks for — provenance, review, disclosure, a firm policy and model information. Compliance remains your firm’s professional responsibility.
Surveys are private to the surveyor who created them, even within a firm. Shared links can be password-protected and set to expire.
Access is restricted to verified RICS members. Your 7-digit number is checked and locked to your account.
No. Never.
