+# Wren — Contractor Engagement
+
+> *Part of the Circuit Forge LLC "AI for the tasks you hate most" suite.*
+
+**Status:** Backlog — not yet started. Peregrine must prove the model first.
+
+## What it does
+
+Wren manages the full contractor relationship lifecycle: discovery and vetting, quote requests, scope-of-work generation, milestone tracking, dispute documentation, and lien waiver management.
+
+Wrens are legendary nest-builders — meticulous, structural, and persistent. They build complex, intricately woven nests. The metaphor writes itself.
+
+## Why it's hard
+
+Hiring contractors is painful because:
+- Vetting is opaque: reviews are gamed, licensing is hard to verify, references are curated
+- Scope of work is undefined: vague quotes lead to scope creep and disputes
+- Payment milestones are rarely tracked rigorously — disputes arise at completion
+- Lien waivers are legally important but rarely requested by homeowners
+
+## Core pipeline
+
+```
+Describe project → AI generates scope of work (SOW) draft
+→ Discover contractors (Angi, Yelp, local boards) → Request quotes
+→ Human review + select → Track milestones + payment schedule
+→ On dispute: document timeline + generate demand letter
+→ Lien waiver generation on final payment
+```
+
+## Key differentiators vs. Peregrine
+
+- SOW generation: structured project description → legal-quality scope document
+- Quote comparison: normalize across different contractor pricing formats
+- Milestone tracker: payment tied to completion criteria, not just dates
+- Dispute documentation: timestamped photo logs, communication thread export
+
