The concept
Solo marine surveyors spend 4–12 hours writing each boat survey report by hand, turning damp clipboard notes and dozens of photos into 30–60 pages of insurance- compliant prose. Telltale is an AI report-drafting companion that turns a one-line finding ("crazing in gel coat near port stern, 6 inches, surface only") into a publish-ready paragraph with severity rating, ABYC reference, and the standardized verbiage underwriters expect. It costs $49/month — half of what a single late- delivered report can cost a surveyor in client trust.
