Hi,
Is there a case when in-house(adj) mean on the spot?
If yes, please give me examples
If not, how can we distinguish them?

We have an in-house maintenance team to service our manufacturing equipment.
This computer comes with a one-year- in-home service warranty.
When we refer to an establishment, company, organization etc… We use the term [in-house], meaning without external or outside assistance.
i.e. We do our accounting and payroll [in-house]. Now [in-house] behaves like an adverb, meaning internally. Or, we have our in-house / internal accounting and payroll staff –which [in-house] is a hyphenated noun adjective.

On the spot – means taking place where you stand.
John was stopped and arrested by a motorcycle police on the spot for repeated offense on DUI.
I went on an interview for the engineering job yesterday. The manager was so impressed with my resume, he hired me [on the spot].
Does it help?
