FAQ FOLIO — DEMONSTRATION SOURCE SHEET
Prepared October 6, 2026

This is a fictional example, not a real client or testimonial. Every business fact below was invented solely to demonstrate how approved source material becomes customer-facing copy. The customer-facing sample must retain its demonstration label wherever published.

F01. Business: Maple & Meadow Home Cleaning, a fictional residential cleaning company.
F02. Service area: the fictional communities of Maple Crossing and Meadow Park only.
F03. Services: recurring home cleaning and one-time standard home cleaning. Recurring schedules available weekly, every two weeks, or every four weeks, subject to availability.
F04. Standard cleaning includes accessible surface dusting, bathroom cleaning, kitchen counter and sink cleaning, vacuuming, and floor mopping where appropriate for the surface.
F05. Not offered: biohazard cleanup, mold remediation, pest removal, exterior windows, high ladder work, moving heavy furniture, or inside-oven and inside-refrigerator cleaning.
F06. Appointment hours: Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. No emergency or same-day service promise.
F07. Inquiries: use the inquiry form on the business's own website. A staff member replies within two business days. A submitted inquiry is not a confirmed appointment.
F08. Quotes depend on home size, requested tasks, cleaning frequency, and current condition. Staff confirm the scope and price in writing before booking. No flat rate, minimum, discount, or estimate amount has been supplied.
F09. Customers receive a two-hour arrival window in their booking confirmation. The visit duration varies with the agreed scope and home condition; no fixed duration is promised.
F10. Staff bring standard cleaning supplies and equipment. Customers requesting a particular product must discuss that product before booking so suitability can be confirmed. No claims about hypoallergenic, chemical-free, pet-safe, eco-certified, or disinfecting products have been approved.
F11. Before the visit: put away loose belongings, secure valuables and fragile items, and make the agreed cleaning areas accessible. Staff do not organize clutter as part of standard cleaning.
F12. Customers may be home or away. If away, arrange property access directly with staff after the booking is confirmed. Do not send alarm codes or keys through the initial inquiry form.
F13. Pets must be secured in a separate safe area during the visit. Staff do not provide pet care.
F14. Change or cancel at least 24 hours before the confirmed arrival window by replying to the booking confirmation. A later change may incur the $25 late-change fee disclosed at booking. No other fee exceptions have been supplied.
F15. Payment: a payment link is sent after the completed visit. Payment is due within two calendar days. No payment-method list has been supplied.
F16. If a customer believes an agreed task was missed, reply to the booking confirmation within 24 hours after the visit, identifying the task. Staff review the concern and discuss next steps. No refund, re-clean, or satisfaction guarantee has been supplied.
F17. Tone: calm, helpful, concise; use “we” in customer-facing drafts. Do not claim ratings, certifications, background checks, insurance, bonding, licensing, years in business, or customer counts.
F18. No public phone number, address, booking URL, warranty policy, refund policy, weekend availability, or holiday schedule has been provided.

Demo approval status: source facts are approved within this fictional scenario only. Nothing here establishes a policy for FAQ Folio or for a real cleaning company.

FAQ FOLIO — SAMPLE AMBIGUITY REPORT
Fictional demonstration: Maple & Meadow Home Cleaning

The sample answers stay within the supplied facts. The following gaps need owner decisions before expanding the library. No missing policy has been silently invented.

1. Refunds and remedies
No refund or re-clean entitlement was supplied. FAQ 15 promises review and discussion only. Obtain an approved policy before adding a guarantee or automated resolution.

2. Late-change fee exceptions
The $25 fee may apply to changes inside 24 hours. No emergency, illness, or weather exceptions were provided. Route exception requests to the owner.

3. Payment methods and overdue payments
The source specifies a payment link and a two-calendar-day due date, but no accepted payment methods, late fees, or collection process. Do not add them.

4. Holiday appointments
Weekday appointment hours are supplied; holiday service is not. Check the schedule before confirming holiday dates.

5. Product suitability and allergy questions
No product certifications or safety claims were supplied. Customers requesting a specific product must discuss suitability before booking. Do not claim products are allergy-safe or pet-safe.

6. Trust and credential claims
No ratings, insurance, bonding, licensing, certifications, background-check practices, or customer counts were supplied. These claims are absent from the draft.

7. Links and contact details
The sample refers to an inquiry form and booking confirmation without inventing a working URL, email address, phone number, or location address. A real delivery needs approved contact destinations.

8. Appointment changes
A reply template acknowledges a request; it does not confirm a new slot or waive a fee. A staff member must verify the timing, applicable fee, and availability.

9. Visit length
A two-hour arrival window is not the service duration. The sample keeps these concepts separate.

Publication readiness
This set is ready for use as a clearly labeled fictional portfolio sample. It is not ready to publish as any real business's policies. A real client must approve their source facts and final copy before using it.
