## Usage

Ask Norma in plain language. With Arch Studio connected through MCP, no $ or / command is required. Norma is your assistant working with Arch Studio.

```text
Use Arch Studio to draft a site visit report from these notes: “Level 2 corridor photographed; ceiling void inaccessible; contractor reports the work above it is finished.” Keep observed conditions separate from the contractor’s statement.
```

## What the report distinguishes

### Observed conditions

Norma describes only evidence in the inspected notes and images and keeps photo references attached.

### Reported information

Norma identifies statements by participants separately from directly observed work.

### Limits and follow-up

Norma records inaccessible or concealed conditions as not observed and keeps proposed actions separate from confirmed findings.
