Documented workflow
Where JobSkein is distinct
A concise summary of the JobSkein capabilities documented in this repository and the checked comparison evidence. These are workflow distinctions, not outcome guarantees.
Email, website-form, and missed-call inquiries can enter the same lead desk for review.
The intake workflow gathers the service and job details an owner needs to review the request.
Leads move through visible stages with owner-controlled notes and next actions.
Follow-up stays reviewable, with consent status and stop conditions shown before action.
Reply drafts use the lead context and are presented for the owner to review and edit.
A daily report summarizes lead activity, stages, and follow-up items for review.
Published price: The published plan is $39/month at launch; usage limits and additional commercial terms are not listed here.
