Using the tool & reading your results

Instructions, examples & common questions

How do I use the checklist?

Choose your current stage, mark tasks and note questions to verify. Switching stages clears unsaved progress; print or explicitly save first if needed. Do not enter identity documents, bank details or sensitive document contents.

What does the completion count mean?

Checking three items only means you marked three tasks. It does not mean financing is approved, documents are cleared or contract conditions are removed. Review my next steps lists the outstanding tasks for follow-up.

Can I open saved progress on another device?

No. Nothing is saved by default. Explicit saving stores it only in this browser, expires after 30 days and is cleared on the next restore attempt. Restore manually; saving again replaces the old record. Avoid saving on shared devices.

What should I bring to a consultation?

Bring outstanding tasks, timing concerns and questions. Actual obligations and deadlines depend on your contract and professional confirmation. Preview the summary and choose whether to carry it into an inquiry; checking or saving does not send it automatically.
