Q: How can a handyman prevent confusion when multiple decision-makers are involved?

Direct answer: Require one point of approval and summarize decisions in writing so multiple decision-makers can't change the job midstream. Practical steps Pick one approver: Require a single person to sign off on scope and changes. Daily recap: Send a short end-of-day summary of decisions and next steps. No verbal pivots: Treat new requests as change orders, not hallway conversations. Next step: Add an "Approval Contact" line to your estimate and refuse changes from anyone else.
