What the combined results reveal:
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.
