Verification turns maintenance escalation into an explicit gate instead of an informal inbox ritual.
Service-safe escalation posture
Escalate the water intrusion packet now: vendor acknowledgement, tenant comms, and temporary habitability notes are still split across three systems and the SLA clock is already red.
| Gate | Detail | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Resident-facing timeline matches the current vendor dispatch reality | Block updates when resident communications and vendor ETA diverge. | watch |
| Emergency and habitability evidence sits inside the canonical maintenance packet | Block escalation when photos, insurance notes, or relocation steps live outside the work-order packet. | critical |
| Repeat incidents are tied to one approval and scope-expansion history | Keep recurring failures from being treated like unrelated tickets. | watch |
| Vendor SLA, invoice packet, and owner assignment remain aligned | Ensure the dispatch owner and invoice/evidence packet point to the same accountable lane. | approved |
