Keep evidence for payment disputes

The problem

If a customer disputes the work or won't pay, texts, photos and emails are your evidence. A simple log keeps them together.

What AI does

AI lays out a simple evidence log for each job, so you can record what was agreed, any changes and the photos you took. You fill it in yourself as the job goes.

Time

Time: 15 minutesTools: ChatGPT, Gemini

The steps, in short

  1. Have AI lay out a blank log.
  2. Set one up for each job.
  3. Take photos before, during and after.
  4. Record each agreed change and how it was agreed.
