The same core job
Answer. Qualify. Hand off.
Porchlight does not become a different product for pools & swim spas. The workflow stays fixed while the project fields change.
01
Answer the project question
Use the business's approved knowledge and keep uncertain or custom answers with a human.
02
Qualify project fit
Capture the vertical-specific fields that decide readiness and the right human follow-up.
03
Hand off to the operator
Send a compact SMS packet with contact details and a tap-to-call action; booking stays optional.
Pool qualification
The fields change because the project changes.
The launch promise stays focused on one human handoff. These are the category-specific details that make that handoff useful.
Budget and financing
Budget band, financing interest, and decision stage.
Lot context
Town, slope, access, photos, and known constraints.
Readiness
Researching, design-ready, target season, and contact details.
Representative buyer flow

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.
