Quick answer
The main launch-day task is to build a job-to-tool matrix. Before that data exists, this page defines the fields a useful matrix needs without pretending to know exact items.
Tool matrix fields
Each repair job should eventually record the tool category, material category, failure risk, and whether the job teaches a reusable skill.
- Job type: cleaning, fixture repair, surface work, replacement, or renovation.
- Required tool: basic, upgraded, rented, or specialized.
- Material risk: consumable parts, paint, flooring, fasteners, or unknown.
- Upgrade value: one-off purchase versus reusable earning power.
Early upgrade rule
After launch, prioritize tools that unlock multiple job types or reduce rework. Delay single-use tools unless the contract payout clearly covers the cost.
