## How to read this example.

The customer has a stated replacement need, a budget and a timeframe. The contractor must still inspect the property, size the system and confirm the final scope. Confirm those details during follow-up.

The intent signal is 48 hours old at purchase. The refund-request deadline falls 22 hours after purchase. These timestamps help you assess freshness and plan your follow-up.

## Useful next questions.

Confirm the equipment condition, duct suitability, electrical requirements, preferred comfort goals and availability for a site assessment. Validate the stated budget and decision-making authority before preparing a proposal.

## Questions

### Which details should I check before buying?
