The paper trail is the product
This trade sells documentation. When it lives in binders and truck cabs, the thing you sell is the thing you cannot find.
Deficiencies die in the truck
A finding that never becomes a quote is revenue left on the wall, and a hazard left with your company’s name on the tag.
The cycle slips
A missed annual is a lost contract and an exposed building. Due dates belong on a board, not in someone’s head.
