"Capacity: demand ahead versus your bench"
Every other view of your subs looks backward: what they cost, how they performed, whether their paperwork is current. The **Capacity** tab is the one that looks forward. It sets the work coming at…
"COI status: how a sub's coverage is read"
An uninsured sub who gets hurt on your job, or does damage on it, turns into your claim. That is why every surface in the Subcontractors section carries a coverage read before anything else: the he…
"Keep, watch, or replace: how the verdict is reached"
When you run the Subcontractor Analysis app, every sub on your books gets one of three verdicts: keep, watch, or replace (shown on screen as "Review or replace"). The verdict is not a vibe or a bla…
"Replacing a sub: alternatives and outreach"
Open a subcontractor's detail card and you will usually see Overview, Compliance, Jobs and margin, and the rest. A Replace tab joins them only when the sub reads as a drop candidate: their reliabil…
"Trades: ranking your subs head to head"
A sub's trade is the one piece of setup that turns your roster from a list into a comparison. Until you tell Verinode that Rivera Drywall is a drywall sub, it can only look at them in isolation. On…
How the sub reliability score works
Every sub on your bench carries a reliability score from 0 to 100, built entirely from the engagements you log against them: how good the work was, whether they finished on time, and whether you ha…
Logging a sub engagement
Everything the Subcontractors section says about reliability starts here: the engagement log. An engagement is one record of one piece of work a sub did for you, was it good, was it on time, did yo…
Opening one sub
Tapping a sub anywhere in the Subcontractors section, a roster tile, a ranked bar in the Explore deck, the review-or-replace tile, opens that sub's detail deck: the complete picture of one subcontr…
Putting a sub on a job crew
The **Dispatch** tab on a subcontractor's card is where you put a sub on one of your jobs. It is a small surface with one clear purpose, and its own intro says it plainly: "Put this sub on a job's…
Sub decisions in your Feed
Everything else in the Subcontractors section waits for you to open it. This part does not. When one of your subs reads as a drop candidate, Verinode raises it as a decision that reaches you where…
Subcontractors before the data flows
The Subcontractors section starts empty for everyone, and it is honest about it. On day zero the hero count reads zero with the line "Add Data. Your subs appear here as their invoices and COIs come…
Subcontractors on your phone
Subcontractors has a dedicated home on mobile, built as a real view, not a shrunken web page. It carries the same numbers as the desktop section, the same five Explore views, and the same per-sub c…
The 1099 tab, W-9s and reportable sub spend
Every subcontractor you pay $600 or more in a calendar year needs a 1099-NEC filed for them, and before you can file one you need their W-9 on file. The 1099 tab in the [Subcontractor Analysis app]…
The Explore row and the five sub aspects
The **Explore** row on the Subcontractors page is five tiles, five different lenses on the same roster: **All Subs**, **COI Current**, **Sub Spend**, **Missing COI**, and **Reliability**, always in…
The Subcontractor Analysis app
The Subcontractor Analysis app is the deep read on your sub bench: one place where your subs' cost, productivity, reliability, compliance, and tax readiness are computed together and laid out as a…
The Subcontractors hero and Take Action row
The top of the Subcontractors page is two rows doing two jobs. The hero is the one-glance read on the bench: how many subs, whether their coverage is holding, and what they have billed you. The **T…
The Subcontractors section
The Subcontractors section is your sub bench seen through a labor-and-liability lens: whether each sub's certificate of insurance is current, how much of your work is riding on them, what they cost…
What a sub costs you, job by job
Open any subcontractor from the Subcontractors page and the **Jobs & margin** tab is the money view of the relationship: every job that sub has billed you on, what they cost you on each one, and ho…
Where a sub's work comes from
Your subs do not work for you in the abstract; they work on jobs, and every job has a payer behind it, a carrier, a TPA, or a private client. Verinode reads that connection in both directions. Per…
