Use case
A renovation, decided on the record.
Every renovation opens up. The floor comes up and the subfloor is damp; the plaster comes off and the wiring is cloth. Draft takes each of those as a change: priced, dated, decided by the person paying, and written down.
The change the floor was hiding
The kitchen fitter lifts the units and finds damp. They say so, in a note or a message. The change arrives with its cost and days, and the owner decides it before the new units go in.
Damp found under kitchen floor
Lifting the old units revealed a damp subfloor — needs treatment before the new units go in.
The trades on one timeline
Roofer, joiner, electrician, plumber: each a job with a bar. The roof's bar stretches by its approved week, and the project's finish line belongs to the last job, the kitchen fit-out, moving only when its own bar does.

After the project, the house
The workspace is the house, not the renovation. When the project closes, the boiler service and the gutters stay on the maintenance log, and the record goes with the house when it sells.

- Clear the gutters4 Sept 2026
Two items due; the log keeps going between projects.
The rule
The loop is the same at any size.
A two-thousand change and a two-hundred-thousand one follow the same path: raise, see impact, decide, update. What differs is who is named to decide it.
