TryHardly work standards
Good local work follows a few simple habits: agree on the scope, do it well, document it, and leave the place better than you found it. These checklists turn that into a practical guide for each kind of job — for workers and clients alike.
These are practical guidelines, not legal advice and not a guarantee by TryHardly. Use them to set expectations and turn completed work into clear proof, reviews, and skill badges.
