## Problem

Evidence, review and billing readiness are often split across calls, chats and spreadsheets after field work is complete.

## Constraints

- Technician flow must stay simple
- Review ownership must be clear
- No private property or worker data

## Architecture

- Field submission
- Manager review
- Approval
- Ready to bill

## Decisions

- Make submission the single handoff
- Separate evidence from billing readiness
- Use explicit review states

## Evidence

- The operating path is field submission to review to ready to bill

## Safety and boundaries

- No payroll, personal or property data is shown
- No AI makes technician-facing decisions
- Approval remains accountable

## Stack

- Mobile-first product design
- Role-based workflows
- Operational data modeling
- Scenario QA

## Business result

Canonical case section: [https://oleksii.almalvs.online/work/field-operations#result](https://oleksii.almalvs.online/work/field-operations#result)

A completed visit moves through one clear path: field submission, review, then work ready to bill. That makes the evidence and commercial handoff easier to follow.

## How it works

Canonical case section: [https://oleksii.almalvs.online/work/field-operations#workflow](https://oleksii.almalvs.online/work/field-operations#workflow)

A technician submits the work once. A manager reviews the proof and approval advances the item to a distinct ready-to-bill state.

## Designed for the field

Canonical case section: [https://oleksii.almalvs.online/work/field-operations#field](https://oleksii.almalvs.online/work/field-operations#field)

The field screen stays focused on the task at hand. Complexity belongs in the accountable review step, not in a technician’s workflow.
