Your state
Why it matters.
Small faults become expensive emergencies. Handling the safe basics — and knowing exactly where to stop — protects both the home and the people in it.
What success looks like.
- Three listed repairs completed with the correct tools and sequence.
- Water and power isolated correctly before any relevant work.
- A clear call-a-professional decision with reasons, not guesswork.
The component skills.
Typical mistakes.
- — Working live — not isolating power or water first.
- — Improvising tools instead of using the right one.
- — Crossing from a repair into a gas, structural or mains-level job.
Practise — activities that produce artifacts.
Tool inventory and safe-use check ~30 min
List every tool you own, check each works, and write the one safety rule you'll follow with it. Buy nothing yet — know what you have.
Artifact: The inventory list with safety rules
Water and power isolation drill ~20 min
Without any repair: find your main water valve and breaker panel, and practise turning each off safely. Label what you find.
Artifact: Labels placed + what you found
Missions — do it for real.
Mentors for this capability.
Matched from real, opted-in DISHA members through the Mentor Intelligence Network — with their trust states shown as stored. Source-listed is not the same as verified.
No opted-in mentors match this capability yet — none are invented. See the Mentors view or the full directory.
How assessment works.
Every submission gets a transparent first-pass against the mission's rubric — what was looked for and what was observed. Verified state requires a real review; the system never upgrades self-reported evidence on its own.
accuracy
Concrete numbers, units and exact values instead of vague amounts
safety_discipline
Safety steps named and done in order; limits respected
evidence_quality
An observable artifact: worksheet, receipt, photo reference, recording note
process_correctness
Steps done in a sensible order, nothing skipped
self_awareness
Honest signals: what you noticed, what was hard, what you'd change
Accepted evidence: mission_submission, mentor_review, observed_application, work_sample.
Stated plainly — what this doesn't do
- — Submissions are private, self-reported evidence — they never become verified without a real review.
- — Mentor review for capabilities arrives in a later phase of this module.
