NEW LAYER UNLOCKED — the map. Your Snapshot told you where it leaks. These maps show your whole operation on one page: every step, who does it, where it lives, and where it breaks. Red steps carry a flag — tap any step to open it.

How you make money
Marketing → sale → the job. The track a paying customer moves along.
🏪 Lead → booked job → paid
8 steps · 6 flaggedMAPPEDCOSTED · T2FIXED · T3
1Lead comes in — call, DM, or yard sign🚩 drop-off▾
👤 You · 📱 personal cell
WHAT HAPPENS: All inquiries land on your personal cell. After 5pm — when homeowners actually call — it's voicemail.
HANDS OFF TO: the paper pad, if you catch it.
WHY IT'S FLAGGED: you told us the callback often loses to whoever answers first.
2Logged on the paper pad🚩 no record▾
👤 You · 📝 paper pad
WHAT HAPPENS: Name and number on the pad in the truck. No timestamp, no source, no follow-up trigger.
HANDS OFF TO: the drive-out visit — if the page survives the week.
3Drive-out visit & hand quote🚩 manual▾
👤 You · 🚚 truck + paper
WHAT HAPPENS: You measure, price in your head from experience, and hand-write the quote. Nobody else can produce one.
HANDS OFF TO: Jobber — sometimes.
4Quote re-keyed into Jobber (sometimes)🚩 duplicate entry▾
👤 You, evenings · 💻 Jobber
WHAT HAPPENS: The paper quote gets typed into Jobber when there's time. When there isn't, the job runs off the pad.
WHY IT'S FLAGGED: the same information now lives in two places, and neither is complete.
5Deposit collected — check or "pay later"🚩 delay▾
👤 You · 🧾 check / handshake
WHAT HAPPENS: The yes and the money are separate events. Days can pass between them; a few deals cool off in the gap.
6Job scheduled on the whiteboard🚩 disconnected tools▾
👤 You · 🖊️ office whiteboard
WHAT HAPPENS: The whiteboard is the real calendar. Jobber's calendar exists, but crews check the board — so the two drift.
7Crew does the job — verbal close-out🚩 no record▾
👤 Crew lead · 🤝 word of mouth
WHAT HAPPENS: "Done" is a phone call. No photos, no checklist, no record of what was installed or when — which matters the day a warranty call comes in.
8Invoice built later, from the pad🚩 manual🚩 duplicate entry▾
👤 You, weekends · 💻 QuickBooks
WHAT HAPPENS: The invoice is reconstructed from the pad and memory, sometimes days after completion. Extras done on-site don't always make it on.
02 · Back office
How you keep the lights on
Procurement, books, payroll, equipment, compliance — the machine behind the machine.
🧾 Buy → track → pay → comply
7 steps · 7 flaggedMAPPEDCOSTED · T2FIXED · T3
1Per-job material buys — no PO🚩 manual🚩 no record▾
👤 You / crew · 🏪 supplier runs
WHAT HAPPENS: Whoever's closest swings by the supplier. No PO ties the purchase to the job, so material margin is invisible until the books catch up.
2Receipts pile up in the trucks🚩 no record▾
👤 Everyone · 🗃️ glovebox & console
WHAT HAPPENS: Receipts surface at bookkeeping time — the ones that surface at all.
3Weekend bookkeeping catch-up🚩 manual🚩 delay▾
👤 You, Sundays · 💻 QuickBooks
WHAT HAPPENS: The week's paper gets keyed in on Sunday. The books describe last week, never this one — too late to correct a live bid.
4Payroll run by hand🚩 manual▾
👤 You · 📊 spreadsheet
WHAT HAPPENS: Hours reported by text, tallied in a sheet, paid manually. It works — and it's another hour that only you can do.
5Equipment fixed when it breaks🚩 delay▾
👤 Crew · 🔧 reactive
WHAT HAPPENS: No maintenance schedule; a mower down mid-route reshuffles the whole day.
6Licensing & compliance from memory🚩 single point of failure▾
👤 You · 🧠 your head
WHAT HAPPENS: License renewals, insurance dates, DOT items — all remembered, none alerted. One missed date is an expensive week.
7Pipeline sheet on one laptop🚩 single point of failure🚩 disconnected tools▾
👤 You · 💻 Excel, not backed up
WHAT HAPPENS: The forward book of business lives in one file on one machine. A dead drive is a dead pipeline.
03 · Customer journey
How it feels from their side
The same business, seen by the person paying you. The ⇄ chips show where their moment meets your office — that's where the leaks live.
🧭 Aware → Loyalty
6 stages · 2 high drop-off pointsMAPPEDCOSTED · T2FIXED · T3
AAware — yard signs & Facebook▾
Neighbors see the work; word of mouth does the rest.
READ: Awareness is healthy and free — demand is not the problem anywhere on this map.
BConsider — they call... after hours⇄ Front office · step 1🚩 drop-off HIGH▾
📱 phone · evenings & weekends
THEIR EXPERIENCE: Ready to buy at 6pm, they get your voicemail. The next crew on their list picks up.
THE SEAM: their Consider moment hits your intake step, which has no after-hours coverage.
CPurchase — deposit by check only⇄ Front office · step 5🚩 delay▾
🧾 check or IOU
THEIR EXPERIENCE: They've said yes and want to pay — there's no way to do it on the spot.
DDeliver — install or service visit⇄ Front office · steps 6–7▾
The strong link — the work itself earns the referrals.
READ: Quality isn't flagged anywhere. Everything around the work leaks; the work doesn't.
ESupport — warranty call, no job record⇄ Front office · step 7🚩 no record▾
📞 callback about a settled paver
THEIR EXPERIENCE: They call about work done last year; nobody can see what was installed or when. Trust erodes on an easy save.
FLoyalty — renewal... if someone remembers⇄ Back office · CRM (none)🚩 drop-off HIGH▾
🧠 memory-triggered outreach
THEIR EXPERIENCE: Their maintenance contract lapses in silence. They'd have renewed — nobody asked.
THE SEAM: your best revenue depends on a trigger that doesn't exist.
04 · The seams
Where the two views cross — your most expensive leaks
The costliest problems aren't inside one process. They're where a customer moment hits an office step that isn't ready for it.
CONSIDER ⇄ FRONT-OFFICE INTAKE
After-hours call meets a voicemail box
A ready-to-buy prospect calls at 6pm and hits your cell's voicemail. The job leaks before it's ever logged.
PURCHASE ⇄ BACK-OFFICE BILLING
Ready to pay, but only by check
The customer's decided but billing takes a check or an IOU. Cash slows; some deposits never fully land.
SUPPORT ⇄ FRONT-OFFICE DELIVERY
Warranty callback, no record of the job
Completion was verbal, so nobody can see what was installed or when.
LOYALTY ⇄ BACK-OFFICE / CRM
Renewal season passes unnoticed
Your best revenue is a renewal, but nothing triggers the outreach.
