Clean up, label, and hand it back.

  5. State what is temporary

    List any temporary fix plainly, the repair still owed, and when it gets rechecked. Do not call it repaired.

  6. Walk the customer through it

    Give a short procedure they can use, plus the checks they must make. Leave guides named by revision.

  7. Book the follow-up

    Open the follow-up task before you leave so the job does not close with nothing scheduled.
