Should the first release request an inspection or calculate an instant quote?
- A pending inspection or quote request reviewed by staff
- A rules-based price shown from validated inputs
Choose: Start with a pending request when pest type, extent, access, property conditions, jurisdiction, or treatment choice can change scope. Add rules-based pricing only after the business defines and tests every eligible case and exception.
Tradeoff: Staff review adds follow-up time but avoids presenting an unsupported final price. Rules-based pricing is faster for a truly bounded service, while adding validation, stale-rule, exception, and dispute responsibilities.
