Run the bid, not the spreadsheet.
One workspace per bid: files with versions, Taylor's estimate with assumptions, Emma's bid table per trade, and Sara's approvals queue. Specialty contractors get their niche, units and production rates learned once and reused on every bid.

What changes on day one.
Every bid starts from a blank spreadsheet
Your divisions, units and production rates are the estimate template. Taylor prices the new package against them.
Addenda land in three inboxes
Files live in one place with versions and a 'read by Taylor' tick. Replace a sheet and the estimate reissues.
Bid day is a scramble for missing paperwork
Emma collects COIs, W-9s and compliance documents as quotes arrive and counts what's outstanding.
Scoped and priced in writing before we start.
Every engagement starts with a Project Review about one real project. We return scope and one set price, in writing. Price moves only if scope moves. After the first project the crew stays on under a separate monthly arrangement — hosting, monitoring, new projects, a Monday report.
Asked on every call.
How long until the crew is live on my project? +
Does the AI send anything without me? +
Do I have to move off Drive / Gmail / my folders? +
Book a project review.
Bring one project. We'll show you what the crew would do with it.
Until the calendar is live, the form on the book page reaches a real person the same day.
