Condition-grade methodology, data caveats, and editorial standards

Marguerite Vasko oversees how BridgeSafety documents its condition-grade methodology and editorial standards. The role sets how the FHWA 0-9 condition scale is translated into the published grade, how data caveats such as biennial inspection cadence and inspector-to-inspector variation are disclosed, and how corrections are handled. Methodology pages, guides, and comparisons are AI-assisted in research and drafting, then reviewed against the primary FHWA National Bridge Inventory sources before publication.
