Should the first release collect an estimate request or accept a roofing job?
- A minimal estimate request that remains pending staff assessment
- An accepted inspection, scheduled visit, or job with a quoted price
Choose: Start with a pending assessment request. Add inspection scheduling, quotes, contracts, payments, or insurance steps only after each source of truth and provider path is reproduced and the team can operate partial failures.
Tradeoff: A request requires human follow-up but protects scope, safety, privacy, and pricing decisions. A transactional flow can reduce phone tag while adding availability conflicts, signatures, cancellations, payment reconciliation, provider events, and legal review.
