get_inspection_checklist — The inspection checklist for a specific used car, adapted to it: base items for every car, fuel-specific items (DPF and glow plugs for a diesel, battery health and charging for an EV), and the known weak points of the model when one is curated.
score_inspection — Turns answered checklist items into per-section scores and one overall 1-5 verdict.
decode_vin — Decodes a 17-character VIN into make, model, year, fuel type and body style using the free NHTSA vPIC dataset, through the public Elgarde API.
