Try it
A simulation and a case study from this kind of work, set in a home improvement business that fits insulation, blinds, garage doors and sheds around a fictional outer suburb. They are fictional.
The kind of days you could have
Good days
- A cold house is insulated, and the owner texts that it was the warmest night they could remember
- A new garage door glides up and down without a whisper
- A set of blinds is hung level and square on the first try, and the room suddenly looks finished
Hard days
- A roof space in summer, cramped and hot, where every move takes planning
- A customer who wants a quick install and has not thought about the details
- A job that is bigger than the quote, with the clock and the budget both running
