Most margin problems don’t show up when the job is sold.
 

They show up after the job is finished.

 

This tool compares what you estimated vs what actually happened — so you can see exactly where profit leaked.

 

How to Use This (2–3 Minutes)

Enter your real numbers — not best-case, not worst-case.

• Estimated price

• Estimated labor, materials, and extras

• Actual price

• Actual labor, materials, and extras

 

We’ll show you whether the job:

• Stayed on plan

• Was priced incorrectly

• Or broke down during execution

 

Important: This is a job costing reality check, not a blame tool.

 

If your inputs are accurate, the verdict you see is real.

 

What This Tool Is Showing You

This tool compares estimated vs actual performance on a single job and highlights where margin was lost:

• Estimated numbers → what the job was supposed to cost and produce

• Actual numbers → what the job really cost when finished

• Variance → where labor, materials, or extras exceeded plan

• Verdict → whether the issue was pricing, execution, or discipline

 

You’re not looking at opinions — you’re looking at outcomes.

 

What This Tool Is Not

Not a forecast
Not a system by itself
Not a guarantee

 

It doesn’t tell you who’s at fault.

 

It shows what breaks down when pricing, production, or controls aren’t installed correctly.

 

Take your time.

The goal isn’t perfect jobs — it’s visibility.
