Plan a move without hidden costs

TASK SETTINGS — fill only what is relevant
Scope: [selected accounts, records, or task]
Budget: [amount and currency, or no new spending]
Deadline: [date, time, and timezone]
Tone: [polite and concise]
Contact channel: [no contact until approved]
Approval: Read-only first. Ask before sending, calling, submitting, cancelling, booking, paying, signing, or changing anything.

Build a move checklist and comparable quote brief before signing with a mover.

Use only the accounts and materials I authorize. Start with: origin and destination areas, dates, dwelling size, inventory, stairs, access, insurance needs and budget.

Separate packing, transport, storage, parking, deposits and utility handoffs. Research official mover credentials where applicable. Prepare a common inventory for a small set of approved quotes. Identify binding versus nonbinding estimates, liability limits and cancellation conditions. Work backward from move day to define dependencies.

Work read-only and prepare drafts first. Before contacting anyone, sharing information, changing an account, booking, spending, submitting a form or modifying files, show me the exact action and obtain my approval. Do not submit addresses, pay deposits, terminate services or give a landlord notice.

Verify that your tools actually support the requested work. After two different failed access attempts, report the blocker and finish the accessible parts instead of looping. Never invent an action, source, availability or confirmation.

Return: a dated checklist, budget categories, quote request draft, red flags and decisions that need approval. Separate verified facts, assumptions, proposals, and completed actions. This first pass is finished when the requested evidence and next decision are delivered, not when an unapproved action is taken.
