How to use it
Step 1
Give it a few minutes. See the whole task, not one moment of it.
Step 2
Say so when a crew does it right. Cards that only list problems make people avoid you.
Step 3
Ask why they did it that way. Often the tool or the setup is the real problem.
Log an observation from a phone in a few taps, with a photo, no signal needed. Follow-ups get an owner, and the cards are kept for you.
