Paper vs digital fire flow test reports

The test is not the delay. The write-up is. This is for owners who know the crew can run the hydrant, and still lose the evening to Word.

What paper is good at

A wet-weather notebook still works when the phone is dead. Nobody is arguing that. The failure is what happens next: someone types it, someone formats it, someone chases a signature, and the client gets it tomorrow or next week.

What a digital report has to beat

If the app wants an app-store install, dies in the basement, or puts a software logo on the PDF, crews will go back to paper. The bar is: phone browser, drop-out tolerant, your brand, office review, same day.

What you get

Field capture on any phone. Sync when you have signal. A review queue so a bad reading does not reach the client. An A4 PDF that looks like it came from you.
