Forms and surveys decision
BasinCheck
A capable developer can implement a useful offline checklist, photo evidence, corrective-action tracking, and OSHA exports (multi-week effort), but BasinCheck's field-tested offline sync polish, onboarding services, and operator/compliance assurances make a full replacement impractical for a single developer to match quickly.

No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Crews run mobile checklists (offline) → failed items create corrective actions → photos + GPS/timestamps attach to records → records sync to backend → generate OSHA 300/300A exports and PDF reports
What it still won’t have
- Polished offline-first mobile UX and field-tested sync robustness
- Concierge template migration and onboarding services
- Operator-specific integrations and compliance support
- Defensible product-grade immutability/audit guarantees and legal attestation
- Customer support, warranty, and SLA
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance

Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal offline-capable safety audit app: stack — React Native for mobile, Node.js + Express for API, Postgres for data, Amazon S3 for photo storage, Redis for sync queue, and Puppeteer or PDFKit for PDF exports. In scope: mobile checklist UI with pass/fail items, local SQLite/Realm cache and resumable sync, GPS/timestamped photo uploads, backend endpoints to store audits and corrective actions, OSHA 300/300A CSV export, per-audit PDF report, user auth (JWT), and a simple web dashboard showing audits and analytics. Out of scope: operator-specific integrations, multi-tenant billing, and concierge migration. Include conflict resolution, server-side validations, secure file uploads, automated tests (unit + integration for API), and basic deployment scripts (Docker + one VPS or managed container).

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
