What weak templates miss
Scope is too loose
Flexible handyman work still needs a clear approved task list.
Materials are not addressed
Customer-supplied parts and reimbursements can create delays and disputes.
Added tasks have no approval rule
On-site requests should be priced or approved before they are added.
