You paid for it before you saw it.

The plasterer says he is done.

You are on another site, it is half four on a Friday, and he wants paying. So you pay, and on Monday you find the reveals are out and the insulation behind the board is anyone's guess. You cannot photograph what is already covered up, and you cannot fall out with a trade you need again next month. You will not fall out with him over it. Nobody does.

The stage editor open on Foundations and oversight, with its shot list and required documents

Say what proof you want, up front.
Set the stage up from a preset and edit it to suit the job. The shot list is the photos you would take yourself: the trench with a tape in it, the damp proof course, the cavity tray before the outer leaf covers it. Name the certificates. Put the price on it and publish.
The trade takes the photos.
The subcontractor gets the stage on their phone, works through the shot list, and submits once every required shot and document is there. It works with no signal on site and syncs later. They are not filling in a form; they are taking the photos you asked for as they go.
You decide, from wherever you are.
The submission lands in your console. You look through the shots and approve the stage, and it goes on the ready-to-pay list with its price. If a shot is wrong you send it back with a note on that photo, and the trade sees exactly what to redo. No phone call, no argument about what was agreed.
