v0 — Early Access
Released: June 2026 · Status: Consultant pre-release
BayWise Lens v0 is the first release, designed to put a complete audit instrument in front of fixed-ops consultants. The goal at this stage is a tangible, end-to-end experience that feels real — from intake to findings to signed report — so that consultant feedback is about the substance of the audit, not about it being a mockup.
What’s included in v0
Engagements
- Create an engagement for any dealership — new or existing in your workspace
- Choose Short form (rapid health-check, ~7 sections) or Long form (full audit, all sections)
- Engagement statuses: Intake → Analysis → Review → Signed → Monitoring
- Pre-loaded sample engagement to explore a complete, populated audit end-to-end
Engagement Profile
- Describe the dealership and the presenting problem in your own words
- BayLens parses the narrative into structured key indicators (bays, technicians, monthly RO volume, powertrain mix, and more)
- Indicators marked hard (directly stated) or estimate (inferred from context)
- Editable indicators — add or adjust any value
- Flags for useful-but-missing data that would sharpen the analysis
The Canvas
- Three-column working surface: Section Rail (left), Section Workspace (centre), Feedback Rail (right)
- Section Rail shows all audit sections in order, with live numbering that updates when sections are removed
- Total Opportunity in the rail footer — the live sum of dealer-addressable findings, de-duplicated to avoid double-counting
Sections and findings
- Upload files into any section — drag and drop, or use the upload button; section-specific hints show what’s most useful here
- Add notes to any section; BayLens synthesizes a structured summary (paragraph + bullets)
- Finding cards with: annual money impact, current vs target metric, cause, confidence level, and addressability
- How BayLens got here — collapsible reasoning chain, readable step by step, ending at the root cause
- Recommended actions — 30/60/90-day actions, each with a target outcome; fully editable; add your own actions
- Gap cards when a section lacks enough data — shows exactly which inputs would unlock the finding
- Remove sections from the report with ×; restore with ↺; remaining sections renumber live
- Undo toast after removing a section
Feedback and comments
- Select any text on the Canvas to attach a comment
- Comments collect in the Feedback Rail — open count visible at a glance
- Resolve a comment and BayLens applies the change back into the document, traceable to the comment
- Resolved comments hidden by default; reveal with Show resolved (N)
- Jump to any comment’s location in the Canvas from the Feedback Rail
Report and sign-off
- View report assembles the full document at any time during the engagement
- Working view — shows reasoning chains, evidence, causes; for the consultant’s use
- Principal view — clean summary for the Dealer Principal; hides internal reasoning
- Print draft available at any time with a DRAFT watermark
- PDF download gated until sign-off
- Sign off finalizes the report: removes the watermark, stamps name and date, and sets the baseline a future re-run will measure against
- Optional polish pass at sign-off — proposed improvements to grammar and clarity, accept or reject
Settings
- Workspace settings for BayWise Lens available under Settings → Lens
- Team capability management for Lens roles under Settings → Team
Limitations in v0
- Single consultant per engagement — simultaneous editing by multiple consultants is not yet supported; last save wins if two people edit at the same time
- No re-run comparison — longitudinal measurement against a signed baseline is coming in a future release. The baseline is set at sign-off and will power re-run comparisons when available
- No dealer self-serve — consultants run all engagements. Dealer-facing access is not in this release
- Analysis depends on the data you provide — findings require sufficient inputs. Sections with missing data show a Gap card rather than a finding; add the listed inputs to unlock the analysis
- Re-run reminders — automated reminders when a dealership is due for a re-run are not yet active
