Network Governance

Operational Standards

CRA's operational standards define the framework for contractor coordination, homeowner experience, and network integrity. These standards are the foundation of how CRA operates—not guidelines, but requirements.

Framework

Standards Built on Three Pillars

Contractor Accountability

Response standards, communication protocols, and performance expectations for all network contractors.

Homeowner Experience

Intake coordination, follow-up systems, and communication expectations that protect homeowner trust.

Network Integrity

Territory structure, credential requirements, and coordination standards that maintain marketplace quality.

Contractor Standards

Contractor Participation Requirements

Network contractors agree to maintain operational standards designed to protect homeowner experience and network credibility. These aren't suggestions—they're conditions of participation.

  • Response Window Standards

    Initial contact within established timeframe for all routed homeowner requests.

  • Communication Cadence

    Structured update protocols throughout the project lifecycle from initial contact to completion.

  • Scheduling Protocols

    Clear appointment communication, confirmation processes, and advance notice for any changes.

  • Credential Maintenance

    Current licensing, insurance documentation, and relevant trade certifications maintained on file.

Homeowner Experience

Homeowner Experience Principles

CRA's approach to homeowner coordination is designed to reduce frustration, improve communication quality, and create a more predictable contractor experience.

Structured Intake

Clean request capture designed to reduce homeowner repetition and improve contractor qualification.

Request Routing

Homeowner requests routed to territory contractors with appropriate capacity and credentials.

Follow-Up Systems

Intake follow-up designed to close communication gaps before they become homeowner complaints.

Feedback Collection

Homeowner experience feedback used to maintain contractor accountability and network quality.
