▸case-01 I recently bought a 1985 two-story house in Minnesota where winters are severe. It has a gas furnace, a fireplace, attached garage, and a large yard. I'm reasonably handy with basic tools, but I don't know when to do specific home tasks. Can you build me a comprehensive annual maintenance guide? I'd like it broken down season-by-season plus monthly routines, categorized by system, explicitly separating tasks I can tackle myself from those needing a contractor (with recommended frequencies). Please also call out the absolute must-do safety and damage-prevention priorities so I don't miss costly items, and suggest how to set up a reminder system to keep me on track. | fail→pass | 40,166 | 25,855 | -36% | 1 | 1 | 0% | 4,706 | 4,019 | -15% | 0 | 0 | — |
▸case-02 We live in a single-story home built in 2005 in coastal Florida—hot, humid, and subject to heavy storm seasons. We have central AC/heat pump, a swimming pool, and a tile roof that had a minor leak last year. We aren't very handy beyond changing lightbulbs and filters. Could you create a personalized schedule for our home's upkeep? Please organize it into spring, summer, fall, winter, and recurring intervals, showing what we can manage ourselves versus what requires a licensed professional. Be sure to spotlight the essential high-consequence jobs that prevent expensive water or structural damage, along with a practical setup for tracking everything throughout the year. | pass→pass | 33,042 | 37,878 | +15% | 1 | 1 | 0% | 3,925 | 3,957 | +1% | 0 | 0 | — |
