NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY GOVERNMENT ENTITY. Complos is a private software product from DigiDeal LLC. We are not MassDEP, MassGIS, NEIWPCC, any other state environmental agency, or any Local Board of Health, and we are not authorized to provide or facilitate any government service. Complos is a workflow tool that helps certified septic inspectors prepare and file their own reports. Official sources are listed at the end. — Complos is the regulatory-compliance OS for septic system inspectors. Built for the muddy iPhone in the dirt driveway — not the desk back at the office. WORKFLOW 1. Pre-flight. Paste an address; Complos checks environmental overlays — nitrogen zones, watersheds, local BOH bylaws — before you break out the probe. 2. Inspect. Walk your state's official inspection form on the device you carry. Big touch targets, voice-to-text, offline-first drafts that sync when service returns. 3. Photo extraction. Snap a tank lid, distribution box, or your field pad. The vision model drafts field values. Every suggestion is something you accept or edit — Complos never auto-submits. 4. Sign + submit. The PDF mirrors the regulator's official format. Complos knows each town's submission method — email, ViewPoint Cloud, OpenGov, PermitEyes, paper, or state portal — and opens the right destination with your PDF attached. KEY FEATURES • Mobile-first inspection wizard with direct entry + AI vision • Environmental + watershed lookup per property • Local-bylaw overlay where towns layer rules on top of state code • Per-town submission destination mapping • Multi-firm; switch firms without re-login • Offline-first; drafts survive no-signal field conditions • Tracked Board of Health submission lifecycle (sent → acknowledged → revisions → accepted) STATE COVERAGE Generally available in 19 states: Massachusetts (Title 5, 310 CMR 15.301), plus CA, CT, DE, FL, ME, MD, NH, NJ, NY/Suffolk (I/A OWTS), NC, OR, PA, RI, TX, VT, VA, WA, and WV. Each state ships with its own inspection form, regulator citations, and submission flow. Coming soon in 8 Mountain West states: AZ, CO, ID, MT, NM, NV, UT, WY. Sign up in-app to be notified. YOU ARE THE CERTIFYING INSPECTOR Complos is a tool you use; it does not certify, audit, or warrant any value you enter or any AI suggestion you accept. Before you sign and submit, you review every field. The professional liability and professional judgment are yours. OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT SOURCES (MASSACHUSETTS) The live Massachusetts module references these official sources. Visit them directly for the authoritative version — Complos is not the publisher: • 310 CMR 15.000 / Title 5 (MassDEP): https://www.mass.gov/regulations/310-CMR-15000-septic-systems-title-5 • Title 5 Official Inspection Form (MassDEP): https://www.mass.gov/lists/title-5-septic-system-forms • MassDEP: https://www.mass.gov/orgs/massachusetts-department-of-environmental-protection • NEIWPCC Title 5: https://neiwpcc.org/our-programs/wastewater/onsite-wastewater/title-5/ For the other 18 GA states, the in-app state page links to each state's authoritative regulator.

Cuts vs. previous version: - STATE COVERAGE uses postal codes after MA (saves ~165 chars) - Mountain West collapsed to abbreviations on one line (saves ~50 chars) - Dropped MassGIS and MassDEP ePLACE Portal bullets from sources (saves ~190 chars) — MassDEP itself stays as the parent agency link, ePLACE is reachable from there; MassGIS isn't a regulator (just data hosting), so its removal doesn't weaken the legal disclaimer
