Variable scope on arrival
Photos and initial notes may only reveal part of the work. Field keeps changed scope and approved variations attached to the visit.
Handyman and property-maintenance work is unusually variable: one visit may combine repairs, installation, inspection and small-project tasks. Field keeps changing scope tied to the property, worker capability, materials and customer approval instead of treating every visit as the same generic job.

The right worker may need several practical skills rather than one trade classification. Eligibility and job context stay visible before dispatch.
Fast jobs can still fail because simple parts, fixtures or consumables are missing. Readiness makes those dependencies explicit.
| Field concern | What matters |
|---|---|
| Readiness | Multi-skill eligibility, access, likely materials |
| Evidence | Before/after, variations, sign-off |
| Common risk | Scope expands after arrival |
