Question 1

How does the tracker show current, missing, and upcoming work?

Accepted Answer

Each requirement has a clear status in the docket: current when the record is in place, missing when something still needs to be added or confirmed, and upcoming when a renewal or next action is approaching. That view helps you decide what needs attention before it becomes a job-day problem.

Question 2

What kinds of requirements can Rafter Docket track?

Accepted Answer

The tracker is designed for practical compliance work such as company and trade licenses, permits, registrations, insurance records, training records, inspections, and other jurisdiction- or job-specific requirements. The exact set depends on your company, work, and operating locations.

Question 3

What document file types are supported?

Accepted Answer

You can add PDF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP files. Use the clearest copy you have, especially when a name, date, limit, license number, or other detail needs to be checked against a requirement.

Question 4

How do I link a file to a requirement?

Accepted Answer

After adding a file, connect it to the requirement it supports and record the details that matter for follow-up, including its expiration date and covered entity. The link keeps the document and the requirement together so the docket can show when the record needs another look.

Question 5

What happens when the tracker finds a gap?

Accepted Answer

The gap stays visible as a clear next item instead of disappearing into a spreadsheet or inbox. You can use the finding to identify what is missing, what needs confirmation, and which requirement or document should be addressed first. Rafter Docket does not replace your authority, contract, or professional review.

Question 6

What does the gap check ask and return?

Accepted Answer

The gap check asks for the basics that shape your compliance picture, such as the kind of work you do, where you operate, and what records you already keep. It returns a practical view of likely missing or upcoming items to review, not legal advice or a guarantee that every authority will require the same thing.

Question 7

How does a gap check lead into onboarding?

Accepted Answer

When the gap check is complete, continue to /onboarding to set up your company, trades, and jurisdictions. That setup gives you a starter checklist shaped around your operation so you can begin organizing the requirements and documents that matter most.

Question 8

Why is pricing provided after the gap check?

Accepted Answer

Compliance work varies with the company, trades, jurisdictions, documents, and level of support involved. We use the gap check first so a quote can reflect the work in front of you instead of forcing every operation into the same generic plan or promising coverage before the requirements are understood.

Question 9

How do the owner-operator, small-crew, and growing-operation guides affect the quote?

Accepted Answer

Those guides are starting points for the shape of your workflow, not fixed packages. An owner-operator may need a simpler record-keeping setup, while a small crew or growing operation may need more people, trades, jurisdictions, and follow-up organized. The final quote follows what the gap check and onboarding details show.
