How and who for the hotel job—verified when attested. Advice unless labeled verified. This brief is a worksheet, not an appraisal and not a quote.

## The job

When a guest calls about a laptop and three people have a different drawer, I want one log with a hold period so we stop guessing who last touched it.

**Outcome the catalog names:** One log, a named holder, a written hold and dispose date. 'I think HK has it' is a fail.

**Desk:** ops
**Urgency on the catalog:** This week
**Typical budget band (catalog, not a quote):** $3–8k log + process
**Typical timeline (catalog, not a promise):** 10–21 days

## Scoped brief

One book. Claim Chest writes the hold period and the dispose rule. Slip Draft can draft the guest note; a person sends it. Housekeep Seq may stamp the room. Nobody DMs a photo of a passport to a group chat.

1. **Name the drawer and the owner.** One place. One key. Night audit knows where. If HK and FD both 'have a box,' stop.
2. **Log found time, room, and who touched it.** No guest names in a public channel. A slip the next shift can open.
3. **Write hold and dispose in days, not vibes.** Thirty days for a laptop is not thirty days for a charger. Print the rule.
4. **Score found→returned, not 'we tried'.** Returned with a date, shipped with a tracking note, or disposed with a witness.

## When not to buy

Do not buy an asset system if the drawer is still a shoebox. Photograph and log first.

## Provider shortlist

- [Claim Chest](https://harbor.signalry.ai/providers/claim-chest) — people · Lost-and-found log and hold rules. Catalog score 8.2 (post-job shape, not a verification).

## Success the brief names

- One log the night audit can open.
- Hold and dispose printed.

## Pitfalls

- Photos of IDs in a WhatsApp group.
- No dispose date — the closet becomes a museum.
- A tool that emails the guest automatically with the room number.
