## What it is for
Many small jobs, one honest hour. The punch list is the product.

The buyer is an owner or operator of a handyman & small works business who is
currently running the work across a calendar, a phone, a notebook and a
separate invoicing tool. xHANDYMANx replaces that with one record per customer
and one record per job, carried from intake through pricing, dispatch, proof
of work, invoice and settlement.

## Category
Maintenance & Repair — Diagnosis before labor. Margin lives in the truck stock and in how fast a
first visit becomes a closed job.

## What the platform assesses
A photo punch list from the customer is sorted into a time-boxed visit plan
with a materials list.

The assessment never sets prices. Quantities come from what was measured or
counted; rates come from the operator's own book. That is what makes two
people pricing the same job land on the same number.

## How work is priced
half-day and full-day labor blocks, materials at cost plus a stated markup

## Records the workspace keeps
- Punch list per property with photo per item
- Labor block schedule by technician
- Materials list with markup applied
- Referral source per job
- Trade escalation record when work exceeds scope

## Workflows it ships with
- Photo punch list → time-boxed quote → single-visit block
- Materials purchased against a job, receipted to the invoice
- Escalation handoff to a licensed trade partner
- Follow-up list for items deferred to a second visit

There is no published per-seat subscription tier for this vertical. Any figure
quoted elsewhere as a xSERVICESx monthly price is not ours. Ask.

## Frequently asked
### Is xHANDYMANx a separate product from the Biz Dev App?
No. xHANDYMANx is the handyman & small works configuration of the Biz Dev App
— the same platform, the same ledger, the same support, scaffolded with the 15
modules and 5 record types this trade actually uses. If the business later
adds a second line of work, it does not mean a second subscription; it means
another vertical switched on in the same workspace.

### How does xHANDYMANx price a job?
On half-day and full-day labor blocks, materials at cost plus a stated markup.
The basis lives in the workspace rather than in an estimator's head, so the
same job quoted by two people produces the same number. Your own rates, your
own catalogue — the platform supplies the structure and the arithmetic, never
the prices.

### What does it connect to that we already use?
Home center accounts, Stripe, Google Local Services, QuickBooks are wired
first, because those are what a handyman & small works business is usually
already running. Anything else goes through the xCONNECTx public API catalogue
rather than a custom build.

### What happens to the data we already have?
It comes in. The archive import pipeline takes historical customers, jobs and
invoices and lands them as real records — searchable, reportable, attached to
the right customer — rather than as a folder of PDFs nobody opens. The point
of moving is to keep the last five years, not to start over.

## Built on Biz Dev App
xHANDYMANx is one of 74 service verticals on the Biz Dev App — the operating
system for the AI economy. The leading and trailing x are platform brackets:
Cross-Connect Protocol in, Cross-Connect Protocol out. Every vertical shares
one identity, one ledger (XODIAK) and one settlement rail, so a business that
runs two lines of work runs them in one workspace rather than two
subscriptions.
