How your task list is organized

  • If a fire, gas concern or sounding CO alarm is happening now, the checklist stops and shows emergency instructions only.
  • Otherwise, tasks are sorted in a fixed order: active moisture follow-up first, then missing information, then planning.
  • Each task names what you noted, a next action and an official source or guide. Up to six tasks show at once; the rest stay one step away.
  • There is no score, no safety rating and no product recommendation in the results.
