How Station Draft Works
Four steps from officer narrative to reviewed NERIS draft. Your officer writes. Station Draft structures. You submit.
The Four-Step Workflow
Paste a Short Narrative
3–8 sentences from the officer — what happened, what you found, what you did. Optional dispatch summary. No login, no integrations, no structured input required. Write the way you already write.
- Plain text input — no forms, no templates
- Optional: include CAD summary or dispatch notes
- Works from mobile or desktop
Get a NERIS-Aware Draft
Station Draft maps your narrative to the NERIS Incident Schema — incident type, property use, actions taken, and minimum essential information. Every field gets a confidence flag.
- Incident type inferred from narrative context
- NERIS module selected automatically (Fire, EMS, HazMat)
- Minimum Essential Information populated where supported
- Confidence flag applied per field: High, Review, or Missing
Answer Only What's Unclear
When confidence is low on a critical field, Station Draft asks one targeted question. Not a new form. Not thirty fields. One question, one answer, then back to the draft.
- Single follow-up question per gap — never a form
- Officer can skip and fill directly in the RMS
- Targeted to Minimum Essential Information fields first
Export and Submit Through Your RMS
Export as PDF and structured data. Upload or paste into ESO, ImageTrend, or your RMS. Your officer reviews, confirms flagged fields, and submits. Human review required. Nothing is ever submitted automatically.
- PDF export — works with any RMS
- Structured data export — formatted for ESO and ImageTrend
- Officer reviews before submission, always
- Nothing submitted to NERIS without explicit human approval
What a Draft Looks Like
Every field is populated and flagged. Nothing is silently assumed.

How Station Draft Signals Uncertainty
Confidence Flags: Every Field Is Rated, Not Just Filled
Most reporting tools fill fields and move on. Station Draft flags every field with a confidence level — so your officer knows exactly what to verify, what looks right, and what’s missing before they submit.
High Confidence
The narrative contained clear, mappable information for this field. Station Draft populated it with high confidence. Officer should verify and confirm.
Incident Type: 111 - Structure Fire ● High
Needs Review
Station Draft inferred this field from context but is not certain. Officer must review and either confirm or correct before submission.
Alarm Time: 14:32 — from narrative ◐ Review
Not Found
The narrative did not contain enough information to populate this field. Officer must supply the value. Station Draft will ask a single follow-up question if it can narrow the answer.
Detector Performance: Not mentioned ○ Missing
Confidence flags appear on every field in every draft. Nothing is silently assumed.
Export Workflow
Submit Through Your Existing RMS — Unchanged
Station Draft produces export-ready output. Your officer transfers it to your RMS and submits through your existing NERIS workflow. No integration, no vendor negotiation, no IT project.

Common Questions About the Workflow
Draft generation is near-instant. The officer pastes a narrative, and Station Draft returns a structured NERIS-aware draft with confidence flags in seconds. The officer's review time varies by incident complexity and narrative completeness.
Incomplete narratives result in more fields flagged as "Review" or "Missing." Station Draft asks one targeted follow-up question per missing element. Officers can also add to the narrative before regenerating the draft.
v0.1 coverage is focused on structure fire and EMS incidents. HazMat and wildland modules are in development. Current pilot participants help shape module priorities.
