03 · Live job schedule
Every trade, handoff, and risk in one six-week board.
This seeded contractor calendar is the project's critical path—not a live multi-user integration. Schedule confirmation and field-work status are intentionally tracked as separate signals.

Opening + rough-in
Tap an assignment to inspect its contractor handoff.
Critical path conflict to resolve
Kitchen framing must clear before electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and rough inspection. A hidden condition could collide with those confirmed/sent handoffs and squeeze the Oct 28 staging plus Oct 30 photography window.
04 · Change-order control
Approve a forecast without erasing the plan.
This decision simulates a kitchen-opening hidden condition. Approve it to update the revised budget and future schedule forecast; the locked original baseline and unknown actuals stay separate.
CO-01 · Kitchen opening
Possible framing and utility correction discovered while opening the wall. The scope is forecasted pending investor approval.

Control rule
Original: $72,000 remains protected.
Revised: budget and planned dates change only after approval.
Actual: remains unknown until work and invoices are completed.
05 · Verify the work
Document each handoff before releasing the next crew.
The demo uses seeded documentation states to show how field photos, sign-off, and quality checks can support completion—not replace contractor coordination.
Kitchen opening documentation
Before-wall, framing, and utility-condition placeholders are queued against the critical path.
Listing-ready check
Staging and photography remain visible as separate scheduled assignments, so a finish delay is not hidden in a generic closeout list.
06 · Learn for next time
A completed rehab becomes better operating data.
At closeout, RehabIQ compares the protected original baseline with approved revisions and final actual results—then uses the gap to improve the next project.
