Before / After

Before VectorMetrics

  • Addenda buried across email threads and package folders
  • Exclusions reviewed separately from drawings and specs
  • Ambiguous requirements turned into last-minute bid-day judgment calls
  • Estimator action items scattered across notes, spreadsheets, and memory

After A 48-Hour Review

  • Ranked scope gaps, addenda misses, and exclusion conflicts
  • Suggested RFIs with source context and bid-day recommendation
  • Estimator-ready action queue with owner, due date, and status
  • Downloadable report your team can review before the final number

The Problem

Estimating teams can spend 40+ hours reviewing a single bid package and still miss scope gaps. Those misses often show up as 3–5% margin erosion after award, when it is too late to reprice.

The Solution

1) Upload Bid Package First

Upload plans/specs/addenda/inclusions/exclusions and flag risky gaps immediately.

2) Get a Prioritized Risk Report

See missing addenda, scope conflicts, risky exclusions, ambiguous specs, and clarification items ranked by severity.

3) Turn Findings Into Estimator Actions

Assign owners, due dates, and bid/no-bid notes so every risk item has a clear next step before submission.

Lewis Eastwood, Founder of VectorMetrics

I am building VectorMetrics for contractors and preconstruction teams that need a calmer second pass before bid day.

The problem is simple: too much estimating risk still lives in scattered files, late addenda, exclusions, and last-minute review notes. Right now, I review every bid package personally so early customers get careful QA, direct feedback, and a product shaped around real estimating workflows.

Trust Boundaries

Confidential Bid Materials

Plans, specs, addenda, estimate files, inclusions, and exclusions are handled as customer documents.

NDA Available

Pilot and enterprise evaluations can start with NDA review before a package is shared.

No Public Model Training

Customer bid packages are not used to train public foundation models.

First Review Guarantee

If your first paid review does not surface at least 3 actionable bid-day items, we will refund the review fee.

Actionable items include scope conflicts, addenda misses, risky exclusions, RFI candidates, estimate mismatches, or clearly assigned estimator follow-ups.

Use Your Own ROI Assumptions

No generic benchmark here. Enter your own bid volume and estimated preventable scope or addenda miss to model the margin exposure your team wants a second-pass review to catch.

Enter your numbers to calculate the margin exposure reviewed.

This calculator is not a guarantee, benchmark, or industry average. It only reflects the assumptions you enter. Once real pilots produce outcomes, this section can be replaced with sourced case-study data.

Common Questions

How does the 48-hour review work?

After fit and confidentiality are confirmed, you send one active bid package. VectorMetrics reviews the files, returns ranked findings, and walks through the action queue with you.

What files can I send?

Combined bid packages, plans, specs, addenda, inclusions, exclusions, bid forms, estimate files, and reviewer notes.

Is my bid data confidential?

Yes. Bid materials are treated as confidential customer documents. NDA review is available before files are shared.

Do we need historical bid data?

No. The first review is document QA. Historical bid and job-cost data can improve analytics later, but it is not required to begin.

Is this replacing our estimator?

No. VectorMetrics is a second-pass QA workflow. Final scope, pricing, exclusions, and bid decisions stay with your team.

Is the founding review really free?

Yes for the first 5 fit-approved contractors. It is a limited founding-customer offer in exchange for practical feedback on a real package.

Free Founding Contractor Review

For the first 5 fit-approved contractors, send one upcoming bid package and get a free 48-hour QA report with ranked findings, suggested RFIs, and an estimator action queue.

This is a limited founding-customer offer, not a free-forever tier. In return, we ask for direct product feedback and, only if the results are useful, permission to discuss an anonymized success story. NDA available before files are shared.
