A browser-based tool reviews contractor estimate PDFs for vague wording, missing scope, deposits, allowances, and useful follow-up questions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The workflow starts with a contractor estimate PDF, a selected trade, and an optional ZIP or city, then produces flags tied to lines in the document. Examples include missing permits, haul-away, warranties, payment schedules, and named products, plus explanations of terms such as allowances and contingencies. The page explicitly distinguishes scope review from judging whether a total price is locally reasonable, and says the free pass keeps the file on the user’s device.
