About This Section

Worked Examples publishes guides to orb trading examples, written for readers weighing up a job rather than browsing.

Independence

Worked Examples has no stake in which firm a reader ends up hiring. There is no directory to buy into and no listing fee, because there is no directory.

Where a Professional Takes Over

A page written in advance cannot see the property it is being read about. It is background, meant to make the conversation with a contractor a more informed one.

Scope

The scope here is deliberately tight. Generic advice is easy to write and hard to act on, which is the wrong trade for a reader about to spend money.

What Gets Written About

The writing aims at the parts of a job a homeowner can reasonably influence. Technique belongs to the contractor, so it is covered only where a homeowner's choice depends on it.
