Labeling

Flow: key tag is assigned when the vehicle drops off (stage zero); the window tag is created at Lot Ready sign-off and marked applied once it is on the glass.

Window documents — FTC Buyers Guide

The official FTC Buyers Guide (front + back — always two pages) filled from this record + Dealership Setup. Warranty election: as_is (dealership policy). Mirrors the dealership's filed setup (paperwork catalog); flagged for Martin Cole's compliance review — SPEC §13.

Inspection

The drop-off inspection (stage zero) is the first step of the pipeline and uses this checklist; the same form serves the Inspection stage.

Sublet invoiced against this unit: $85.00 — on the vehicle's recon cost record.

Flow: ordered → out at vendor → in progress → returned. The customer stream hears only that the vehicle is "at our partner shop" for the work type — vendor names stay internal.
