## Get the business context together

Research a supplier or commercial customer and keep returned details with the job preparation work.

## Turn a scope into a preparation worklist

Organise supplied job notes, identify missing information and prepare questions or tasks for the team. Keep the scope and assumptions visible for review.

## Plan with the right calendar context

Use relevant public holiday and working-day tools when preparing dates. Treat calculations as planning inputs alongside team availability and agreed commitments.

## Featured workflow: job-start brief

Start with the approved scope, business details and proposed dates. Prepare a reviewable brief covering the inputs, missing information and next actions.

1. **Gather job inputs** Bring together the agreed scope, site notes and relevant customer or supplier details.
2. **Check business context** Review supported business information and keep the returned details with the job.
3. **Review relevant dates** Check calendar assumptions against team availability and commitments.
