Distinct owner and contractor roles
Separate workflows for the person commissioning work and the party proposing and carrying it out.

FUNCTIONAL SCOPE
What the product is designed to do.
Original estimates and revisions
A source document is preserved while individual terms can be extracted, reviewed, clarified or rejected.
Agreements and approvals
The intended flow requires explicit acceptance and clear reasons for changes rather than silently overwriting the initial scope.
Milestones and photo evidence
Progress and supporting files are designed to remain connected to the relevant project record.
Mobile-first task clarity
The experience aims to show one next action at a time during setup, then reveal the permanent project record once the agreement is ready.
ENGINEERING APPROACH
The workflow behind the interface.
01
Project initiation
Create the job, capture owner information and invite the relevant contractor.
02
Review the estimate
Upload or prepare a scope document, preserve the source and allow the owner to review it.
03
Record agreement decisions
Handle revisions and approvals before allowing agreement signing.
04
Preserve the work record
Attach milestones, photos, approvals and dated change history as the work proceeds.
REAL LESSONS
What the hard cases taught me.
One clear next action
When a workflow has many roles, tabs and permissions, visible complexity can trap users. Step-by-step guidance is more useful than presenting every action at once.
Documents are sources, not suggestions
OCR and AI extraction can help fill fields, but original estimates and human decisions must remain the authority when numbers, taxes or clauses are unclear.
Approval is a state machine
An owner may accept, reject or request revisions. Contractors need corresponding options and a reliable transition through signing and active work.
Current status: The owner/contractor end-to-end workflow is still undergoing stabilization. The public screenshot represents a sample, not proof that every proposed workflow is released or complete.
