Common questions
What the operator stays in control of.
Project rules, human takeover, and scheduling mode are configured for the business.
Can Porchlight distinguish research from design readiness?
Yes. Project stage, target season, budget, financing interest, and lot context can shape the handoff summary.
Will it replace the design process?
No. It prepares the buyer and project context before a human designer or salesperson takes over.
Can the team call instead of sending a booking link?
Yes. Manual phone follow-up is a first-class path; calendar scheduling is optional.
