## Prompt

```text
Help me create a quality inspection checklist.

**What's being inspected:** [e.g. "incoming pallets", "finished units before shipping", "completed field service job", "hotel room after cleaning"]
**Specifications or standards:** [PASTE SPECS, DRAWINGS, CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS, OR DESCRIBE]
**Common defects or complaints:** [WHAT GOES WRONG]
**Who inspects and how much time they have:** [ROLE, MINUTES PER CHECK]
**Volume:** [units per day/shift]

Build:
1. A checklist of 10-20 items in the order the inspector would naturally check them. For each: what to check | how (look, measure, test) | pass criteria with tolerances or a clear description | tool needed.
2. Critical vs. minor items: which failures stop shipment or need immediate escalation.
3. Sampling: how many to check and how often, and when to tighten sampling (after a failure, new supplier, new operator).
4. What to do on a fail: quarantine, label, record, notify, and who decides on rework or reject.
5. A recording format so results can be trended later.
6. Ideas for visual aids (photos of good vs. bad) for the hardest-to-judge items.

Use the specs I give; where a tolerance or criterion is missing, mark [DEFINE SPEC] instead of guessing. For regulated products, align with the applicable standard and our quality system.
