Requested work or symptoms in plain language
01 · REQUEST
Start with one marine-service request.
The customer does not need to know which provider category to call first. YardSlot starts with the boat, the problem or requested work, where the vessel is, and the facts already known.
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.Current vessel location and access conditions
Vessel type plus known LOA, beam, draft and approximate weight
Timing, urgency and whether the boat can move under its own power
Photos, warning codes, prior service notes or other useful evidence
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.Keep unknown information marked as unknown instead of inventing a value
Attach the vessel and request context to the same workstream
Identify missing facts that materially affect routing
Separate the customer’s request from provider-confirmed scope, price and availability
Stage outcome: A structured request that can move into diagnostic routing without making the customer restart the story for every provider.

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.
