Restoration and claim work is judged on documentation almost as much as on the work. What the loss looked like on arrival, what was removed, what the readings were on day three. That record has to be made while the job is happening, because none of it can be recreated afterwards.
"What did it look like before you started mitigation?"
The demolition is done. Whatever was not photographed in the first two hours is now a description rather than evidence.
"We need daily moisture readings to approve the drying period."
The readings were taken. They are on a clipboard, in a van, in handwriting, with no date on the page.
"Can you show the affected area was limited to those rooms?"
Scope disagreements are scope disagreements. A dated set of photographs by room is a different conversation from a walkthrough recollection.
Pressure tested at 80 PSI, held 15 minutes. No leaks at joint. Water restored to all fixtures and verified at second-floor bath.

The claim moves at the speed of the documentation. Producing it once, on the day, is what keeps it moving.
Arrival condition photographed with the time burned in and the address on the report, before anything is moved or removed.
Daily readings photographed with the meter in frame, each one dated. The drying period is documented rather than asserted.
Photos grouped by the job they belong to, so affected areas and untouched areas are both on the record.
Additional damage found mid-job, photographed when it was found, with the write-up from that day.
What was removed and when, before it goes in the skip. Disposed material cannot be re-photographed.
The customer was sent the report and answered it, at a recorded time, with nothing changed since.
Straight talk: FieldLog is a record, not a legal outcome. No app guarantees how a dispute ends. What it guarantees is that when one starts, your side of it is already written, stamped, and filed.
