Independent quote-review tools

Understand the quote.
Decide with confidence.

Understand / Decide builds focused tools that turn dense contractor proposals into clear written summaries, unresolved items, and practical questions to ask before signing.

Private pilot: access is limited to invited testers. The access code is only for this pilot and is not a personal password.

Roof Quote Analyzer

A document review—not a sales funnel.

The tool reviews only the written material supplied. It is designed to help a homeowner understand what a quote says and what it leaves unresolved.

01

Upload

Provide a PDF or ordered phone images of each contractor proposal. Remove unnecessary personal information before uploading when practical.

02

Review

The system extracts written scope, pricing terms, warranties, exclusions, and other decision-relevant details from the supplied documents.

03

Clarify

Receive a report that identifies clearly stated items, unresolved details, and questions worth confirming in writing before signing.

Clear boundaries

What the review does—and does not do.

It does

  • Summarize the supplied written quote
  • Identify missing or ambiguous written details
  • Compare supplied quotes when appropriate
  • Generate practical follow-up questions

It does not

  • Inspect the property or verify measurements
  • Verify licensing, insurance, or code compliance
  • Determine whether a price is competitive
  • Provide legal, engineering, insurance, or contracting advice

Trust by design

Built around transparency and limited data use.

The private pilot is intentionally small. Policy pages are public, the operator is identified, and the upload flow explains how documents are used.

Purpose-limited

Uploaded estimates are used to create the requested report and operate the pilot.

Short retention

Customer job files and generated reports are configured for automatic deletion from active application storage within 72 hours.

No contractor ranking

The service explains written tradeoffs but does not select or endorse a contractor.

Invitation-only pilot

Review a roofing quote with clearer expectations.
