Scattered-site inspection day: the travel route from a horror movie

Scattered-site inspections are logistics with a score attached: units across town, an inspector on a schedule, keys and access at every stop, and one locked door can burn the day's route. Tell us your worst route story — and the system you built afterward: route order, buffer stops, and who rides along with the keys.

Scattered sites turn inspection day into a logistics exam: the score still matters, but so do drive time, lockboxes that may or may not open, and the one resident who was told the wrong window. Route the day like a delivery run — cluster by geography, put the risky access early, hold a buffer stop in the middle — and put one person in charge of keys and the inspector's pace. What's your route system now — order of stops, buffers, who carries the keys — and what disaster built it?
