# Canvassing after weather, on cut turf

What is storm canvassing is walking a territory after weather to start conversations at the door. Knockdesk is field sales software for that walk, the turf you cut, and the knock on the pin. It is not an insurance claim, a storm-damage promise, or a roofing guarantee.

## A surge without a cut is two crews on the same doors

You feel it when the weather passes and both teams drive the same neighborhood. What is storm canvassing still needs a territory and turf. The walk starts after the weather. The desk still only stores the visit. Knockdesk does not file a claim, promise storm damage, or guarantee a roof.

**The weather passed.** The crew goes out after the weather. The product does not draw a weather layer.

**The cut.** Split the territory into turf so one owner holds each pack. Stacked crews are the stall.

**The pin, not a promise.** Log the outcome. Not Home still counts as coverage. A damage promise does not live here.

## Three hundred ninety-six pins, two owners, a week you can recompute

One territory holds 396 pins after weather. You cut Turf North ridge, 186 pins, for Maya. You cut Turf Harbor loop, 210 pins, for Jordan. Maya logs 78 visits, including 22 Not Home. Three pins on North ridge are Do Not Contact. Coverage on that pack is 78 / 183, about 42.6 percent. Jordan logs 90 visits on Harbor loop. A third lasso that crossed North ridge would not save. Nobody on this desk graded a roof or opened a claim.

| Pack | Assigned | Finished | What Friday can say |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| North ridge, Maya | 186 pins, 3 DNC | 78 visits, 22 Not Home | 78 / 183 covered. DNC is not work. |
| Harbor loop, Jordan | 210 pins | 90 visits | Jordan holds that pack. |
| Shared doors | 0 after the cut | A crossing lasso does not save | The surge did not restack the same pins. |
