Would they let you in?
A homeowner checks you out before they open the door. Mark what proof you really have. Your crew badge prints it, line by line.

Check: Written scope
You haven't checked this one yet. Look for something you already have before you make anything new. If it isn't there, do this:
Make a blank estimate page with scope, exclusions, payment stages, and a way to approve changes. Explain the next step in plain words.
Example: A sample scope explains surface prep and cleanup, then names any repairs priced separately.
Where to use it
Place a sample scope and your estimate steps beside the quote form.
- Written scopeNot checked
- A real point of contactNot checked
- Job photosNot checked
- The people on the jobNot checked
- How you do the workNot checked
- Customer wordsNot checked
Order: what a homeowner needs to agree to a job (scope, a contact) comes before proof that promotes you.
Example: a roofing crew's badge
A made-up 3-person roofing crew, run through the same check. They have real job photos, a contact and some genuine customer words. No team photo and no written scope.
- Make: Written scopeMake a blank estimate page with scope, exclusions, payment stages, and a way to approve changes. Explain the next step in plain words.
- Make: The people on the jobTake a clear photo of the people customers will meet. Add first names, roles, and who handles questions. Get permission before publishing.
- Check first: How you do the workFilm or photograph one step you actually follow: protection, prep, inspection, or cleanup. Say what it does and where its limits are. Avoid staged safety demonstrations.
Their next step: Make: Written scope. The scope comes before the team photo because a homeowner needs to know what they are agreeing to.

Take the full cheat sheet.
Built from the answers you just gave, not a generic list.
- Every gap in order, with the job to make each one
- Where each proof goes: a post, an ad, your website

It counts the proof you have. It is not a trust score and it can't promise more jobs.
Questions
Why no trust score?
Nobody can measure how much a homeowner trusts you from six answers. The badge counts the proof you can show. That part is real.
What counts as ready?
It exists, it is current, and you have permission to share it. A team photo of people who left last year is not ready.
Can I use these drafts as they are?
No. Every bracket needs your own facts. Leave out any claim you can't back up, like a licence or a review you don't have.
