Short answer

How can I audit jobs and timesheets using AI?

Your AI client pulls job data and compares it against logged timesheets to find mismatches. You'll see exactly where labor hours don't align with the work scope.

Audit outcomes

Where your findings land.

The AI organizes its findings into these four categories.

MATCHED

Verified entries

The AI confirms that logged hours align with job details. These entries require no further action.

MISMATCH

Hours vs Scope

The AI flags timesheets where the labor duration exceeds the expected job parameters. You'll see which entries look suspicious.

MISSING

Unaccounted work

The AI identifies jobs that have no associated timesheet entries. This helps you find unbilled work or forgotten logs.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

The AI highlights complex discrepancies that require your judgment. You decide if these are legitimate errors or valid exceptions.

The workflow

What your AI does when the audit starts.

The AI moves through your data to build a complete picture of your labor costs.

  1. Gather job data

    The AI builds a list of all active or completed jobs to establish a baseline for the audit.

    list_jobs

  2. Fetch job details

    Once a job is identified, the AI pulls the specific requirements and parameters for that task.

    get_job

  3. Retrieve labor logs

    The AI pulls all timesheet entries associated with the selected jobs to compare against the work scope.

    list_timesheets

  4. Identify discrepancies

    The AI compares the job parameters against the timesheet data to find mismatches or missing logs.
