## Quick answer

For electrical contractors, start with an **electrical site-input checklist** for the project coordinator. Focus on the information needed for the site handoff, especially which drawing revision and access arrangements staff have actually approved. Righthand can help prepare the administrative draft from inputs you authorize; staff review its evidence and decide the next action.

## Three desk tasks

### 1. Prepare document pointers

Gather the latest approved drawing references and mark superseded files. Do not resolve a technical discrepancy by choosing the newest filename.

### 2. Track site inputs

List missing access details, coordinator confirmations, and administrative prerequisites against each work order. Assign each question a responsible person.

### 3. Draft progress context

Prepare an internal update separating scheduled work, reported attendance, and reviewed completion. Link the evidence behind each state.

## Who owns each handoff?

| Input | Proposed assistant deliverable | Responsible person |
| --- | --- | --- |
| approved work-order export and site correspondence | electrical site-input checklist with record references | project coordinator |
| 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 |
| --- | --- |
| Work order E-71: drawing Rev C supplied, while the project approval references Rev B. | Return the revision conflict to the coordinator; do not choose the newer drawing automatically. |
| Work order E-72: a site appointment appears on the calendar without an access contact. | Flag access readiness separately from the booked window so the coordinator can confirm the handoff. |
| Work order E-73: a staff note reports work submitted for review; a summary calls it approved. | Correct the status to submitted and link the review requirement without assessing technical compliance. |

**Correction check:** After the drawing owner identifies the applicable revision, update the packet’s reference and verify the work-order ID. That correction must not change installation instructions independently.

## Complete first-run brief

> Prepare an electrical site-input checklist from approved work-order export and site correspondence. Cover October 12–16, 2026; use America/Los_Angeles for date cutoffs. Include these source fields: work-order ID, site, drawing revision, access contact, scheduled window, 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 project coordinator. Flag missing fields or conflicting versions. Do not approve electrical designs, direct installation, assess safety, or interpret code requirements. Do not send messages, change source records, or spend money. Result check: Compare the checklist with the approved work order and confirm its drawing revision and access 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

Use one scheduled site handoff and inspect the drawing and access references at the project coordination meeting. Two drawings may share a title but differ in revision. A calendar slot does not establish that site access or prerequisites are confirmed; flag both independently. Do not approve electrical designs, direct installation, assess safety, or interpret code requirements. When an input changes, rerun the affected comparison and retain its source reference; do not overwrite the authoritative operational record with a draft.
