## Quick answer

For cabinet makers, start with a **drawing-and-selection release checklist** for the cabinetry project owner. Prepare the approval handoff before a proposed drawing or selection becomes production context. Righthand can help prepare the administrative draft from inputs you authorize; staff review its evidence and decide the next action.

## Three desk tasks

### 1. Compare drawing changes

Flag new client markups awaiting acceptance.

### 2. List remaining selections

Keep finish and hardware decisions distinct.

### 3. Prepare delivery coordination

Separate proposed delivery from confirmed installation access.

## Who owns each handoff?

| Input | Proposed assistant deliverable | Responsible person |
| --- | --- | --- |
| approved order register and shop-drawing index | drawing-and-selection release checklist with record references | cabinetry project owner |
| Missing or contradictory fields | Exception and source-linked question | Named source owner |
| Approved next step | Reviewable coordination draft | Staff authorize external action |

## Worked example: three records, three outcomes

The following inputs and outputs are synthetic, not customer results. Read them as a test packet for this desk.

| Illustrative source row | Useful worked output |
| --- | --- |
| Order M-91: approved shop drawing names width W1; client markup proposes W2. | Keep the proposed change visible and request the project owner’s approval before production context changes. |
| Order M-92: finish sample approved, hardware selection still unanswered. | Separate the selection states so the order is not described fully production-ready. |
| Order M-93: delivery window is proposed but installation access is unconfirmed. | Prepare an access question and preserve the distinction between delivery and installation. |

**Correction check:** Resolve drawing revision and selection approvals before consolidating the packet. A newer markup should not automatically authorize fabrication or affect an accepted order price.

## Complete first-run brief

> Prepare a drawing-and-selection release checklist from approved order register and shop-drawing index. Cover October 12–16, 2026; use America/Los_Angeles for date cutoffs. Include these source fields: order ID, drawing revision, dimension label, finish, hardware state, release reviewer. Trigger: Monday at 9 AM. Output: a source-linked Markdown draft in my private review thread, grouped by next action and owner. Reviewer: the cabinetry project owner. Flag missing fields or conflicting versions. Keep fabrication release, measurement acceptance, material choices, and pricing with staff. Do not send messages, change source records, or spend money. Result check: Verify drawing revision and every selection state with the project owner.

Replace the illustrative dates and source locations before running this task. Use an approved extract when a native connection and its exact actions have not been verified; the extract remains a snapshot, not live synchronization.

## First-week check and failure boundaries

Pilot one cabinetry order at the drawing-to-production review gate and inspect all remaining selections with the owner. A new markup may not be approved for fabrication. One accepted selection does not complete the whole order. Keep fabrication release, measurement acceptance, material choices, and pricing with staff. When an input changes, rerun the affected comparison and retain its source reference; do not overwrite the authoritative operational record with a draft.
