Private Well Decision Engine

Water Verdict

Private well decision tool

Choose your starting clue.

Pick one input and get the next safe step before you read anything deeper. This surface should behave like a routing tool first, not a guide directory.

Start With A Lab Result I Only Have A Symptom
See the public tool page

What happens after you start

Use the tool first, then read only if the first pass is not enough

The first job is not browsing. The first job is to pick the input you already have, get oriented, and only then open the longer public guide layer if something is still unclear.

Start

Pick the clue you already have

Lab result, symptom, recent change, or state and home-sale context.

Orient

Get the next safe step

Let the tool narrow scope before treatment research gets ahead of the evidence.

Verify

Check method or state context

Use the reading layer only when you need the reasoning, source trail, or a local rule check.

Read

Open the longer guide if needed

Read only after the first pass tells you which branch, household, or test question still matters.

Compare

Shop only after scope is clear

Compare paths and follow-up CTAs should stay downstream from verification, not replace it.

Guide layer

High-signal pages worth opening only after you start the tool

These guides exist to support the routing tool. They should not force you to learn the whole site before you can act.
