Projects / verified proof
The record is being assembled from verified photography, process documentation, and company-published narratives. Every card states what is known, what is pending, and what it is not evidence of.
Manhattan first
No invented project proof
01 / Verified visual core
These galleries and assets are not interchangeable with narrative proof. Where the live gallery is unavailable in this sandbox, the card remains a record of the verified source—not a made-up image grid.

What is intentionally not proof
The framework stays useful by keeping process guidance separate from project evidence.
Educational process guide · not a testimonial
A general process guide can explain building rules, plan and scope alignment, alteration requirements, DOB coordination where applicable, protection and access planning, rough-ins, inspections, and closeout. It does not describe a specific client, room, outcome, or review.
Withheld from project proof
This template is not published as a case study, testimonial, or project record.
