Vehicle Quality Inspection
The Problem
Processed vehicles were passing through inspection with damage going undetected, resulting in downstream incident claims and penalty costs. Manual inspection was slow, inconsistent across operators, and created a bottleneck during peak volume.
Users
Quality inspectors, operations managers, and claims teams at vehicle processing centers.
My Role
Led requirements discovery, authored the PRD, defined model evaluation criteria, and aligned stakeholders across operations, data science, and claims.
Approach
Ran customer discovery sessions to map the current inspection workflow, quantify miss rates, and identify the highest-cost damage categories. Partnered with data science on training data strategy and defined success metrics weighted toward precision (false positives erode inspector trust). Built a human-in-the-loop review step so inspectors could validate and correct model outputs, creating a feedback loop that improved model accuracy over time.
Outcomes
- $1M in annual savings from reduced incident penalties
- Standardized inspection quality across processing centers
- Created a structured feedback loop for continuous model improvement
- Freed inspector capacity to focus on edge-case judgment calls
