## Research questions

### Is a booked diagnostic visit the same outcome as a completed repair?

Sears describes a diagnostic visit followed by an estimate; customers may decline the repair and pay only the diagnostic fee. Track booked visits, repair approvals and completed paid repairs separately when judging acquisition quality.

### How should a waived diagnostic fee affect repair campaign revenue?

Sears waives its diagnostic fee when the recommended repair proceeds and charges it when the repair is declined. Use the actual invoice outcome; adding a waived fee to the repair receipt would overstate collected revenue.

### What must support a same-day repair ad before spend increases?

Sears offers same-day or next-day appointments only when its local service routes have available slots. Check dispatch capacity for the advertised address and appliance; a scheduling claim is not evidence that a repair will finish that day.

### Which repair contacts belong outside a new-customer acquisition count?
