Trust boundary · Operations
Time and cost entries are staff-reviewed operational records only. They do not run payroll, pay vendors, create invoices, charge cards, expose loaded labor rates to owners/vendors, publish raw GPS, or write accounting ledgers.

Why this page is short
Some areas are intentionally represented by a narrow public boundary instead of a full feature page. That keeps sensitive operations, access rules, and unfinished marketing claims out of the buyer-facing experience.

5 further boundary constants in this module
A recorded quote is one vendor's price for a frozen scope, kept so it can be compared. It does not select a vendor, approve owner cost, schedule or dispatch work, create an invoice, or notify anyone. Internal vendor cost and coordination markup are not part of this record's read model at all.
QUOTE_BOUNDARY · apps/api/src/ironbound_api/modules/operations/router.py:535A comparison ranks recorded quotes by one recorded column at a time and says which column. It does not price work, negotiate, contact a vendor, publish anything to an owner, or make a decision. Internal vendor cost and coordination markup are not part of it. A recommendation is a person's judgement written down, not the ranking's output.
COMPARISON_BOUNDARY · apps/api/src/ironbound_api/modules/operations/router.py:812An invitation records that a vendor was asked to price a frozen scope, and what the credential record said at that moment. It does not send the vendor anything, grant them access to this workspace, guarantee a reply, promise an owner a price, or dispatch work. A vendor who never answers is recorded as never having answered.
RFQ_INVITATION_BOUNDARY · apps/api/src/ironbound_api/modules/operations/router.py:1107An outcome notice records that an operator says they told this vendor the RFQ went elsewhere. It sends nothing, and it carries no amount of any kind: not the winning total, not this vendor's own price. Who won, and at what price, are not part of this record.
RFQ_OUTCOME_BOUNDARY · apps/api/src/ironbound_api/modules/operations/router.py:1552Participation counts one vendor's own conduct on invitations this workspace recorded. It is not a cross-vendor ranking, not a win rate and not a score, and it carries no amounts. A vendor may be shown their own row.
RFQ_PARTICIPATION_BOUNDARY · apps/api/src/ironbound_api/modules/operations/router.py:1872Copied verbatim from apps/api/src/ironbound_api/modules/operations/router.py and regenerated from apps/api/src/ironbound_api/modules. The API returns these same strings in its boundary fields, and a drift check fails the build if this page and the source stop agreeing.
Pilot access
The best demo is not a feature checklist. It follows a request from owner intake to manager triage, vendor packet, field evidence, reviewed closeout, and owner-safe reporting.
We respond with the recommended demo route, who should attend, and what production access would require.
