6. Optional “Differentiator” Features (Pulled from the 10 Apps)

These are nice-to-have, not MVP blockers:

• ✔️ Instant price estimates (basic calculator)
• ✔️ Service bundles (e.g., “Small Home Fix Package”)
• ✔️ Favorite handyman / repeat hire
• ✔️ Subscription for pros (boost visibility)

---

7. What You Should NOT Build (Yet)

To keep it achievable, skip these initially:

❌ Owning service delivery (aggregator model) ❌ Fixed pricing for every service ❌ Real-time GPS tracking ❌ Background checks via third parties (phase 2) ❌ Too many service categories at launch

---

8. MVP Feature Checklist (Short Version)

If you want the leanest launch version, this is it:

✔ Job posting ✔ Handyman profiles ✔ Quotes & booking ✔ Chat ✔ Payments ✔ Reviews ✔ Admin dashboard

Everything else can be phased in.
