Why maintenance priority needs a source card
Resident maintenance messages often arrive with partial facts: screenshots, portal notes, after-hours calls, vendor comments, owner approvals, and old work orders. AI can blend those fragments and overstate severity or timing. This card forces a human-readable record before automation decides what to say next.
STOP AUTOMATION: do not let AI promise emergency response, habitability decisions, fees, warranty coverage, owner approval, legal rights, vendor arrival, completion timing, diagnosis, or resident access permission until a manager verifies the source card and local policy.

[paste source card]Review before replying
- Does the priority label match the resident's exact words and verified source records?
- Are access permission, duplicate work orders, vendor status, and owner/manager approval clear?
- Could the issue involve safety, accessibility, legal, lease, fee, warranty, habitability, or privacy concerns?
- Does the draft avoid invented vendor timing, completion promises, diagnosis, emergency status, or access rights?
