# How to draft a commercial service report cover note at a pest control company.

A commercial account needs a cover note for its service report. Copy the documented findings with no change.

## What you need before you start

- Current commercial service log
- Current device map
- Approved report cover-note template

## Write these rules down first

- Use the current commercial service log for documented findings.
- Keep technician observations attributed to the technician.
- Name the account manager who approves the report.

## What to tell the assistant

```text
Read the current commercial service log. Read the current device map. Read the approved report cover-note template. Draft the account, service date, inspected areas, listed device numbers, and documented findings. Name attachments and completed corrective actions. Do not change the findings. Do not certify a site pest-free or infer activity from device counts. Stop on missing signatures, mismatched devices, incomplete entries, or disputed findings. Use only these files for this job. Mark missing information. Do not guess. Leave the draft for staff to check. Do not send, publish, or change the source files.
```

## Check before it goes out

- Are device numbers consistent with the map?
- Are findings copied without changes?
- Is the technician signature present?
- Are disputed findings left for the account manager?

## What it never does

Write these limits into this job's instructions. Do not change findings, certify a site, or send the report. Require staff approval before each message goes out.
