I made up an October bank statement for a solo home inspector (fixtures/inspector-checking.csv, 10 lines) and ran it through ai-bookkeeper's importer before touching any rules. Three lines already got an account (association dues, E&O insurance, fuel) and the $1,200 Zelle to the owner was a draw. Six did not: three Spectora payouts, the software subscription, a thermal camera and the state licence renewal.

New rules file inspection-software payouts as sales, report software as software, a thermal camera as equipment and the state licence as a licence. The month comes to $6,085.50 in and $2,547.40 of costs, so $3,538.10 before the draw and depreciation.

What this does not settle: expense versus depreciate for the camera, vehicle method, and self-employment tax. The rules come from company names and one made-up fixture, so "10 of 10" is the fixture passing, not an accuracy figure. A real inspector's export is what's missing.
