Playbooks

Starter playbooks

Three starter pages for tradespeople and service-business owners. Each one opens with the situations where the work stops.

  2. Questions to answer before a building is a candidate

    People, documents, and the bills that continue if a unit is empty. Unanswered questions keep a building off the list.

  3. Keep a field notebook of the journey

    The weekly page for what you saw, what you refused, and what is still unknown. A format, not a fabricated week.
