Evidence stage
DeploymentAn employer has put it into production. Can move the baseline — weighted by scale and how similar the setting is.
Tasks this bears on
Fitting and servicing smart water devices
Installing and looking after connected meters, leak sensors, automatic shut-off valves and sensor taps, and dealing with their alerts.
New task✓ Evidence-backed
Where this applies
A US home-warranty and home-services company describing its own business in its annual filing. It says that through its partnership with Moen it deploys its licensed plumbing contractors to install the Moen Flow Smart Water Monitor and Shut-Off, and it describes app-based video chat and virtual diagnostics that can reduce the need for an in-home visit. The company sells these services and Moen is its device partner; the filing gives no install or usage counts.
What this means
Installing connected leak monitors and shut-off valves has become ordinary work that a national home-services company routes to licensed plumbers. The smart device adds a job to the trade rather than taking one away.
What it does not yet show
One company's description with a commercial stake and no volumes; it does not show how common such installs are.
What you can check
Open Frontdoor's 10-K for fiscal 2025 and find "we deploy our licensed plumbing contractors to install the Moen Flow Smart Water Monitor".
Does it change the assessment?
No. The impact index is never moved by a single event. Nor did this record change a layer: all 1 linked judgement above already rested on earlier evidence. This one adds to them.
