The combined August reporting shows 134 program calls and 51 verified jobs across the call center and the contractor network, presented as one consolidated result.

51
Verified Jobs
(Combined)
What the combined results reveal:
- August produced 134 total calls — the second-highest monthly volume of 2025 year-to-date — with 51 verified jobs and 26 unanswered calls
- 90 calls were routed through the call center without contractor attribution; 11 verified and 22 unanswered
- Norman led contractor-attributed volume with 18 calls, including 18 verified and 0 unanswered
- Perfect verified months: Norman (18/18), Berwyn (3/3), Aleck (2/2)
- Verified rate finished at 38.1% — the 7th-highest of 2025 year-to-date
Opportunity Area: The combined August results show that 26 calls went unanswered. At the 38.1% verified rate, those missed calls represent roughly 10 additional jobs that may have been earned with full coverage. Among attributed contractors, Old World missed 1 (3.8%) and PJF missed 1 (3.8%). 22 of the unanswered calls (84.6%) sat in the call-center bucket with no contractor attribution.
Data Reference Note (January–October 2025): During this period website call lines were forwarded into the call center, so calls handled there appear as “Sent to Call Center” without contractor attribution. A portion of those calls may also be reflected in contractor-attributed figures; the combined totals for this month are provided as a consolidated reference and should be read with that potential overlap in mind.

Reading the table: Each row shows that contractor's combined activity for August 2025. *Sent to Call Center: 90 calls for this month carried no contractor routing, so contractor attribution is not available; they are shown as a single call-center bucket. Website call lines were forwarded into the call center from January through October 2025, so a portion of these calls may also be reflected in contractor-attributed rows.
Norman was the contractor-attributed volume leader at 18 combined calls and 18 verified jobs (100.0% verified rate). Baethke followed at 5 calls with a 80.0% answer rate and 80.0% verified rate. The largest attributed no-answer counts belonged to Old World (1 of 1, 0.0% answer rate) and PJF (1 of 1, 0.0% answer rate). The call-center bucket answered 68 of 90 calls (75.6%), with 11 verified.
