Trust, but with a clipboard and a flashlight.
means A careful, formal checking-over of something to confirm it meets the standard it's supposed to meet.
from From Latin *inspicere* — 'to look into' — built from *in-* (into) plus *specere* (to look, to behold), the same root that gives us 'spectator' and 'suspicious.' The word entered English through French in the 1600s, carrying that same idea of looking closely into something rather than just glancing at its surface — the flashlight was implied from the start.
