WHAT TO DO

Confirm delivery or staging timing, protected storage, and access against the current weather window before promising the start.

Current external conditions

Material / pricing

No current readDetails

Historical evidence only; it is too old to support a current operational conclusion.

Before promising a start — job-specific checklist

These checks are useful on a real job, but they are not current Charleston signals and never affect the status above.

Owner selection confirmed

Confirm the exact product or finish, who owns the decision, and the needed-by date.

Substitute rules written

Know what substitute is acceptable and who must approve a change before ordering.

Supplier and order status confirmed

Verify the current quote or order status directly with the supplier before relying on it.

Delivery, pickup, and staging confirmed

Confirm timing, address, access, storage or staging location, and the person responsible for the handoff.

Dependent work is actually ready

Check inspection, access, customer, and predecessor-work dependencies before promising the start.

JOB-SPECIFIC CONTEXT

Make readiness job-specific

Public signals can tell you when an external condition deserves another check. Your selections, supplier confirmations, access, dependencies, and written job record determine whether a specific start is actually ready.

Make this job-specific

Public signal boundary

This public read uses external market and operating data. It does not know your owner selections, supplier inventory, order status, lead times, delivery commitments, job access, or actual start readiness. Confirm job-specific facts directly before committing work.
