The inspector does not see every unit — NSPIRE scores the property from a sample of units, buildings, and site items drawn by the software. That is why one trashed sampled unit can outweigh ten clean ones nobody opened. How do you decide where to spend prep time when any unit can be drawn? Share your sampling stories here.

Sampling changes the psychology of prep: you are no longer preparing the units the inspector will see, you are raising the average of every unit they might see. That is why the 'worst five units' strategy quietly fails — the draw does not care about your rankings. Steady, portfolio-wide readiness is less exciting than a sprint on the showcase units, and it is the only thing the math respects. When you can't know which units get drawn, where do you put your prep hours — the worst units, the average ones, or building systems first?
