The check
What we look at, and who looks
Guided photos, two AIs that check each other, an inspector where it matters.
The principle
AI assists the check. It does not sign it.
Where the two AIs disagree, a person decides. What cannot be verified, the report says.

The Normal level
Two AIs, one report
The Reader looks at the photos. The Reviewer does not: it compares what the Reader saw with the declared data and with what it knows about the model.
- Readerreads the twenty photos
- Reviewercompares them with the data and the model
- Reader
Photo 10, frame stamp: I read the prefix VSX1T.
- Reviewer
The seller declares a 1981 P 200 E. VSX1T is the right prefix.
- Reader
Photo 6, left panel: the grey is a different shade from the right.
- Reviewer
Could be a touch-up. I flag it to look into, not as a defect.
- Reader
Photo 12, engine: an oil trace under the crankcase, clutch side.
- Reviewer
At 18,900 km that is plausible. I will ask an inspector to look at it.
- Reader
Photo 19, registration book: the frame number is legible and matches.
- Reviewer
Report ready. Two points to look into, no inconsistency in the papers.
- Tunnel Verde report
Declared data, checks carried out and points to look into, separated and readable. Attached to the listing.
The dialogue is written for the demo: it shows how the two models work on the P 200 E listing, not a real log.
The report

The report separates declared data, checks carried out and points to look into. It is not a legal certificate.

Questions
On the limits of the check
Does the AI certify that the Vespa is original?
No. The AI assists the analysis and flags consistencies or anomalies; it does not issue a legal certificate. Uncertain points are looked at by a person, and the report states them as such.
Who are the inspectors?
Mechanics and restorers with at least ten years on geared Vespas, selected region by region. The inspector's name is on the report.
What cannot be verified?
From photos or a video call you cannot test brakes and suspension, or feel how it rides. That is what the Plus level is for.
Is the report a guarantee?
No: it is an accurate description of the scooter's condition on a given day. Any guarantee comes from the seller.
