# Repair SOPs The bench workflow. Component-level, right-to-repair, and the one rule that never bends: > **Don't fuck the customer, especially consent.** (The Louis Rossmann model — get comfortable and family-fed, never rich off a scam.) ## The flow 1. **Intake** — what's broken, what's it doing, what does the customer need it to do. 2. **Diagnose** — reproduce the fault, find the cause, not just the symptom. 3. **Fix the cause** — not the patch. 4. **Test** — make it prove it works before it leaves the bench. 5. **Explain** — tell the customer what was wrong and what you did, in their words. ## Notes Add the real checklists, tools, and common-repair notes here as they happen.
