Reported symptom, failure or requested maintenance
02 · DIAGNOSE
Organize the problem before choosing the provider path.
This stage is service triage, not a substitute for a technician’s diagnosis. YardSlot uses the information available to determine which service path should be investigated first and what facts still need confirmation.
WHAT ENTERS THIS STAGE
The facts that shape the next decision.
YardSlot keeps facts, unknowns and provider-confirmed information separated so the routing path does not depend on assumptions.Engine, electrical, hull, plumbing, towing, facility or other service context
Mobility status and whether dockside work appears practical
Prior work, known fault codes and customer-supplied evidence
Dependencies such as towing, haul-out, storage or another trade
HOW YARDSLOT HANDLES IT
Coordination rules for this stage.
These rules explain the operating logic behind the page rather than reducing the process to a generic provider directory.Classify the request into the relevant service family or multi-trade path
Flag missing information that could change provider selection
Preserve diagnostic notes so the next provider receives useful context
Escalate technical diagnosis to the qualified provider performing the work
Stage outcome: A clearer service path with the relevant vessel and symptom history still attached.

Some jobs can be handled dockside. Others require the vessel to move before repair, haul-out, storage or inspection can continue. Movement is treated as its own dependency instead of being buried inside another quote.
