A record that stands up later.
In this industry, the check matters — and so does proof that the check happened. Every audit Nudgy runs is recorded permanently: what was checked, against which version, when, and what was found.

The record
What every audit writes down
- DOCUMENT
- File name and revision of the drawing that was audited.
- SPEC VERSION
- Exactly which version of the specification it was checked against — addenda included.
- TIMESTAMP
- When the audit ran, to the second.
- FINDINGS
- Every finding, with severity, explanation, and citation, as issued.
- PASSES
- Every element that was checked and found compliant. Proof of coverage, not just failures.
Append-only by design
Audit records are never edited and never deleted. A re-run produces a new entry; a correction produces a new entry. The history of a project on Nudgy reads the way a site diary should: in order, complete, and unrevised.
Why this matters in AEC
Liability in this industry turns on what was known, when, and against which document. “We checked it” is only a defense if you can show what version you checked and what the check found. Nudgy makes that provable per revision — including the spec version in force at the time.
How teams use it
Dispute resolution, when a change order is contested months later. QA documentation, when a client or insurer asks how compliance was verified. Handoff records, when a project changes hands mid-stream and the new team needs to know what was checked and when.
Passes are part of the record
A record that only lists failures cannot demonstrate coverage. Nudgy records every element it verified as compliant alongside every finding — so the trail shows the breadth of the check, not just its exceptions.
Revision comparison
Diff two revisions in findings, not gut feel
The trail records every run — and revision comparison reads two records side by side: what the new revision resolved, what it carried forward, what it introduced, and anything that grew more severe. 'Did Rev 4 actually fix it?' has a documented answer.
