Why the documents are free
A contractor often needs one specific document now, not another account. The public library earns trust by solving that immediate problem with a complete generic file, a clear preview, and practical guidance. The download is never exchanged for an email address.
The planned business model begins only when a company wants its own identity, editable structure, saved versions, and organization. That division keeps the free experience useful and the future paid product honest.
Where the library stops
TradesAndForms is for contractor and property-service paperwork connected to jobs and properties. It is not a generic platform for every blue-collar or local business. V1 launches with construction, roofing, and HVAC as complete verticals; future trades should launch only when their workflow and document set can be treated with the same depth.
