Automated QA/QC · 46-point checklist by a Ph.D., P.E.
Method of Procedure (MOP) Review
Structural completeness and cross-document consistency. It does not give a go/no-go.
- From $199
- Price shown before you pay
- 46
- Checklist points
- Typically within 1 hour
- Typical turnaround
What it is for
We check your method of procedure for missing steps, back-out plans, and conflicts with the single-line, before the switching window.
Who it is for
Built for the people who sign off
The data center or critical-facility manager
Check a vendor MOP while there is still time to send it back.
The commissioning agent or owner’s engineer
Get a second pass on steps that assume a state nobody verified.
The contractor writing the procedure
Find the gap in your own MOP before the owner does.
What it does not do
Clear limits, stated up front
- Determining that a procedure is safe to execute
- Assessing whether all energy sources have been identified
- Assessing whether isolation or lockout is adequate
- Approving a procedure for execution
- Any determination reserved to a qualified person in the field
A clean report is never proof of compliance.

The cost of the first pass
Your engineers should be engineering, not proofreading.
The first pass through a document is the slowest, least interesting part of review. We do that pass and hand back a list with every item tied to a page. Your engineer still makes every call.
Defaults to $300/hr. Change it to your reviewing engineer's rate.
We don't measure this. The default is 2 minutes a page for 50 pages. Set it to what it actually takes.
- Your first pass: 1.7 hours at $300/hr
- $510
- Method of Procedure (MOP) Review — 50 pages
- $269
- Difference, per document
- $241
Turnaround: Typically delivered within 1 hour. May take longer when demand is high.
A preliminary screening, not a substitute for your review. The Engineer of Record verifies every finding, and absence of a finding is never evidence of compliance.
Why it is consistent
Every item, every time
The full checklist runs on every document, even on a deadline.
The same standard every time
Depth does not depend on who was free that afternoon.
An audit trail by default
Every finding carries its page and the checklist item behind it.
It does not get bored
Matching ninety label values to ninety study rows is where people slip.

FAQ
Common questions
Will this tell me my MOP is safe to execute?
No, and it cannot be made to. Determining that a procedure is safe, that all energy sources are identified, or that isolation is adequate are decisions reserved to a qualified person in the field. The engine only emits gaps, questions, and inconsistencies. There is no pass, complete, adequate, or approved finding type available to it, and post-generation validation rejects any text asserting sufficiency or readiness for execution.
Why is the single-line required?
Because the cross-check is the point. A MOP reviewed alone can only be checked for internal structure. Read against the single-line, and the scope of work if you provide it, it can be checked for whether the equipment it names exists where it says, whether the affected loads match the topology, and whether the work described is the work scoped. Submission is blocked without the single-line rather than silently producing a weaker review.
What is the difference between the automated and expert lanes?
The automated lane releases the pipeline findings directly, with that stated in large type on the report cover. The expert lane is read personally by a Ph.D., P.E. Every finding is approved, edited, or removed by a licensed Professional Engineer before you receive it. Both lanes are fixed-price and self-serve; neither is a stamped deliverable.
How fast is it?
Typically within 1 hour on the automated lane. Expert-reviewed is typically three business days. Prices are published and locked before you upload.
Who wrote the checklist this runs against?
A Ph.D., P.E. wrote it. The checklist is original prose and reproduces no NFPA 70E, NFPA 70, or Uptime Institute text.
