Server-side guardrails
Example rules to review and configure for your deployment.
Every painting deployment runs the Home Services & Construction pack. The panel below illustrates industry rules, custom rules, and intended boundaries. Configured checks target recognized patterns; they can miss context or flag harmless content. Confirm the active rules and test them for your deployment. Example messages are illustrative and must be adapted to your services and escalation workflow.

Hard limits
Intended boundaries for the configured rules. Detection and handoff are not guaranteed.
- Do not give DIY instructions for electrical, gas, structural, or asbestos work
- Configure reminders to use licensed professionals for regulated work
- Do not guarantee a lifetime fix or warranty
Your custom rules
Layered on top of the pack, unique to your business. No developer required.
The pack is the starting line, not the ceiling. Every deployment can add its own rules in the admin, block, warn, or just log on any phrase you choose, in either phase, with your own response message. They run right alongside the pack.
- BLOCKoff-topic requests that aren’t your business
- WARNbefore anyone is quoted a price over chat
- LOGwhen a visitor mentions a competitor by name
These industry rules stack on top of the always-on baseline, your region’s privacy and crisis rules, and macro overlays. See how the guardrail layers work

Painting questions.
Can Fred give a price for a paint job?
Fred explains how your pricing works and captures the scope, rooms, square footage, prep, but it won’t commit to a final number sight-unseen. It books the estimate so you price the real job.
What about lead paint in an older home?
Fred flags lead-paint concerns, says plainly that it requires certified handling, and routes the inquiry to your team rather than advising on removal.
Can Fred help with color choices?
Fred captures the customer’s color preferences and the look they want, then books a consultation so your team can finalize colors in person.
Does it handle commercial and HOA work?
Yes. Commercial and HOA repaints are qualified separately and flagged as higher-value leads so they reach the right estimator quickly.
Book every painting estimate. Stay in your lane.
