Emergency and planned work in one campaign, no call tracking, and the structure that fixes both.
Job-seeker and training traffic, eicr and compliance work priced like emergencies, and the structure that fixes both.
Optimising for calls, not jobs, storm-driven demand spikes, and the structure that fixes both.
