CALLER
"There’s water coming through my ceiling."
SUBCALL · Plumbing
"Shut off the main valve now. It’s by the meter. Once it’s off I’ll get a plumber dispatched, same-day."

WHY TRADE-AWARE WINS
A plumber's burst-pipe call and an electrician's sparking-outlet call get different questions. Each trade gets its own, never a generic form.
A roof leak in a storm and a flickering light are both urgent, and need completely different responses. It knows which is which.
Customers say "water coming through the ceiling," not "plumbing failure." It understands how people actually talk.
