  3. OrganiseAssemble the available title, project, contract, payment and cost evidence.
  4. SeparateLabel what is known, missing, concerning or requires professional confirmation.
  5. CoordinateKeep legal, tax, valuation, immigration and engineering conclusions attributed.
  6. DecidePresent a plain-language record so you can proceed, compare, pause or walk away.
