New Messages

Context aware communication generated by system state.

 

What This Is

Messages is the unified communication layer driven by the Cohos model.

It is not a generic inbox and not freeform chat.
Messages are generated, routed, and structured based on what the system knows about the property, the project state, and the next required action.

Every message exists for a reason.

 

Core Principle

Messages are not written first.
They are triggered.

Each message corresponds to a specific condition inside the system and is sent only when that condition is met.

This prevents noise, reduces ambiguity, and keeps communication tied to reality.

 

Message Categories Generated by the Model

Planning State Messages

Triggered when a project is partially defined or paused.

Examples include:

Planning paused with unresolved scope
Additional input required to proceed
Optional next steps available
Planning ready to advance

These messages exist to move decisions forward without restarting the process.

 

Approval and Gating Messages

Triggered when execution is blocked by a required decision.

Examples include:

Approval required to proceed
Scope changes pending confirmation
Material substitutions awaiting sign off
Access permissions needed

Nothing advances silently. Every gate is explicit.

 

Scheduling and Timing Messages

Triggered by execution readiness and availability shifts.

Examples include:

Scheduling window now available
Upcoming visit confirmation
Schedule at risk due to dependency delay
Reschedule required due to scope change

Timing reflects real constraints, not calendar optimism.

 

Active Project Execution Messages

Triggered during live work.

Examples include:

Work has started
Mid project update available
Exception or condition discovered
Action required to continue
Work completed pending verification

Execution communication is tied to location, scope, and documentation.

 

Documentation and Verification Messages

Triggered when records are created or required.

Examples include:

Photos uploaded for review
Completion verification ready
Documentation missing or incomplete
Issue flagged during review

These messages enforce accountability without manual chasing.

 

Material and Supply Messages

Triggered by material related events.

Examples include:

Material confirmed and logged
Product no longer available
Approved substitute recommended
Price change due to manufacturer update

Material intelligence flows forward instead of surprising execution.

 

Maintenance and Lifecycle Messages

Triggered by time, usage, or service history.

Examples include:

Maintenance window approaching
Previously repaired issue showing recurrence
System reaching replacement horizon
Preventive service recommended

These messages turn history into foresight.

 

Portfolio and Multi Property Messages

Triggered when multiple properties are involved.

Examples include:

Action required across multiple homes
Bundled services available
Scheduling overlap detected
Portfolio level insight available

The system scales communication without multiplying effort.

 

What Makes This Non Generic

Messages are never detached from context.

Each message is tied to:

A specific property
A specific location or system
A specific project or service
A specific next action

There is no broadcast layer pretending to be helpful.

 

Operational Impact

Because messages are structured and state driven:

Support load drops
Clarification loops shrink
Execution errors decrease
Accountability improves

Communication becomes part of the operating system, not a side channel.

 

Strategic Role

Messages are how the Cohos model speaks.

They translate system state into human action at the exact moment it matters, without relying on memory, manual follow up, or guesswork.

This is coordination at scale without chaos.
