Nothing written here yet. Build it anyway.

Write the process the way your company runs it, and open it from anywhere with your company login. The city's part goes on the public page, the way it should be, so the next contractor finds it. Your company's own steps stay private.

When the community updates the city's part later, your saved process does not change on its own. We show you what changed and you decide whether to take it.
