Find out where your margin went
The two sheets from the guide, live, plus the shop rate math behind every quote. Score your habits, run one real job's quoted against actual, and get the single fix worth doing this month. We do not keep your numbers.
Eight habits that decide whether a quote is honest
One tap per row. 1 means it never happens, 5 means every job without fail. Honest answers only, the scorecard works for you and not on you.
Quoted against actual, line by line
Take the last job that shipped. It is prefilled with the trailer from the guide, so clear it and use your own numbers.

Two numbers behind every quote
Not part of the diagnosis above, but worth checking while you are here. Get these two wrong and every quote is wrong before the job starts.
Everything it costs to keep the doors open for a month, over the hours you can genuinely sell.
Markup is what you add on top of your cost. Margin is what you keep out of the price. Add 20% and you only take home 16.7%, so divide instead.
The sheet you just filled in, already built
Same four lines, same quoted against actual, same margin kept. The difference is nobody assembled it. Hours come off the floor at each person's rate, materials off the order and its purchase orders, so the review is waiting the day the job closes.
Driver chips say what moved. Hours +$1,340 on labor, Over +$500 on materials, without opening a thing.
Live while the job runs. See the cost accruing now, and catch time logged to nothing before it reaches the margin.
Keep the books you have. Syncs with QuickBooks Online, Xero, and MYOB.
Straight answers
No. Nothing you type into the scorecard or the job calculator is stored or sent anywhere. Refresh the page and it's gone. Use the print button on your result if you want to keep a copy.
No. It's free and works on its own, the same two sheets from the guide, just live. If it's useful, the demo is there when you're ready, not before.
Same eight habits, same trailer, same math. This version scores itself and totals the job for you instead of you doing it by hand.
Clear them, there's a button right on the calculator. Run your own job through it, then do it again on the next one that ships.
See it on your own jobs.
