Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Flathead Trades is the public directory of builders, tradespeople and home services in the Flathead Valley, Montana. Use find_pros to name real local businesses with their phone numbers and websites. When the person wants a quote, use start_quote and give them the link: they finish the request themselves, and it goes to one pro who is taking new work.

start_quote — Start a quote request
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Make a link that opens the Flathead Trades quote form already filled with the work, the town and the description. The person finishes it and agrees to be contacted themselves; the request is then offered live to one local pro at a time who is on right now, the first to take it calls them, and they follow it on a private request page. Free for homeowners.
