# Client engagement readiness -- Flat Fee House Cleaners Sarasota

## Stage assessment

| Engagement stage | Result | Evidence / missing fact |
|---|---|---|
| 0. Pre-sales prototype | NOT STARTED | No discovery-call requirements or approved prototype scope |
| 1. Prototype walkthrough | NOT STARTED | No walkthrough or client feedback |
| 2. Onboarding | NOT STARTED | No signed proposal, stakeholders, credential locations, or compliance instructions |
| 3. Twin project and context stack | NOT STARTED | No engagement root or documentation tier decision |
| 4. CLAUDE.md contract | NOT STARTED | Must follow Stage 3 and actual client scope |
| 5. Build week | BLOCKED BY PRE-FLIGHT | Mandatory contract artifacts do not exist because no engagement has begun |

## What is known from retained evidence

The capture represents a Sarasota cleaning-service website with a request-estimate CTA and a published service menu. It is not a signed scope, production requirement, source of truth for business claims, or authorization to touch WordPress.

## Mandatory preflight inputs

The client-engagement skill intentionally refuses a build until all of these are real:

- signed proposal or otherwise approved build contract
- scoped project plan
- five context layers plus client-materials layer
- current client-specific `CLAUDE.md`
- stakeholder and credential-location record, without secret values

## Local gate result

**PARTIAL.** This execution created a factual readiness assessment and correctly did not scaffold a fake client project or pass a preflight with fabricated materials. Running the skill's project preflight now would correctly fail because its required input contract is not present.

## Next concrete action

Obtain an approved scope and the five factual onboarding answers before opening a production client engagement.
