1. Condition observed

A primary walking route has elevation change, edge deterioration, or exposed aggregate that requires measurement, route context, photo documentation, and repair prioritization.

2. Cause indicators

  • Moisture exposure and drainage path reviewed.
  • Movement pattern checked against cracks, joints, and surface changes.
  • Load and use conditions noted before repair selection.
  • Surface preparation risk documented before final scope.

3. Scope logic

The repair path should explain what is included, what is excluded, and what conditions trigger a change order or deeper review.

4. Result documentation

Final case studies should include before photos, process photos, after photos, owner notes, and follow-up tracking where appropriate.
