What it does

Assesses whether weather conditions are suitable for a specific type of outdoor work

Takes a job type, a location, and a date range. Pulls the relevant forecast and returns a plain-language assessment of whether conditions are suitable, with specific reasoning. Knows the relevant thresholds for different work types: concrete pours have different tolerances than exterior painting, roofing, or trenching. Returns a go, caution, or no-go with the forecast data that drove the call.

When you’d reach for it

  • Checking whether Thursdays forecast clears for a concrete pour at a job site location.
  • Getting a suitability read on exterior paint work at a property before a crew is locked in.
  • Returning a no-go on a roofing job when wind or rain is forecast above the threshold for the work type.
