From estimate to understanding
Not “is this cheap?” — “what am I really agreeing to?”
QuoteWise is designed around the decision homeowners actually face: comparing scope, assumptions, materials, and unanswered questions before money changes hands.

Concrete deliverable
What a finished report should feel like
The product should sell the outcome: a clear, shareable homeowner report — not generic SaaS dashboards.
Red flags found
- “Allowance” is used without dollar limits or selection rules.
- Electrical and plumbing say “as needed” without scope boundaries.
- Payment schedule is listed but milestones are not tied to completion.
- Permits, inspections, haul-away, dust protection, and change-order process are unclear.
Questions to send the contractor
- Can you list exactly what is included and excluded?
- What allowance dollar amount is included for each finish category?
- Who handles permits and inspections?
- What triggers a change order, and how is it priced/approved?
Homeowner-first pricing
No generic workspaces. Pay for clarity at the moment you need it.
These plans replace the template SaaS language with offers that match the buyer and the decision.

Safe by design
QuoteWise should stay helpful without making promises it cannot prove.
Does QuoteWise tell me the guaranteed fair price?
No. It helps you understand scope, unclear costs, allowances, and questions. It is not an appraisal, legal opinion, contractor license review, or guaranteed fair-price engine.
What projects is this for?
Big homeowner decisions: kitchens, baths, roofs, HVAC, basements, flooring, additions, and other projects where scope confusion can cost real money.
Could this become a referral business?
Yes. The clean path is to help the homeowner first, then optionally route them to vetted second-opinion pros, inspectors, designers, lenders, or contractors with transparent disclosure.
What would production need?
Secure quote upload, account/report storage, payment, AI review with guardrails, PDF export, referral disclosure, privacy policy, terms, and strong abuse/data controls.
