What people do today

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. An anonymous office feedback portal that allows employees to report facility hygiene issues to management without social friction.
  2. A standardized, polite office etiquette sign template specifically designed for shared restrooms to encourage cleanliness.
  3. A facility management service request system that triggers professional cleaning services when an unsanitary condition is reported.
