Research mission

What does field-first technical workflow design teach us about capturing physical-world information quickly?

Key questions
  • How should software behave when the user is physically standing inside a customer's home and needs an answer quickly?
  • What does in-home capture achieve that remote homeowner-guided capture cannot, and vice versa?
Current Treehouse analogue

Treehouse photo collection and photo QA, plus Edison load calculation

Amply covers the same span as Treehouse's site-data capture and scoping, but from inside the home on a tablet rather than remotely. The contrast between field-capture and remote-capture is the point of studying it.Treehouse internal

Contractor applicabilitySegment-specific need

Fast in-home technical capture matters most to trades that sell high-ticket equipment on the first visit. Its relevance to Treehouse is as a UX reference for capturing physical-world information quickly, not as a category to enter.Hypothesis

UnknownUnresearched

Could a contractor who works locally, runs the business from a phone, may have no website, barely uses email, and may have no FSM at all realistically adopt this?
