The problem

Quotes come in different formats, making it hard to compare scope, materials and warranties.

Step by step

  1. 1Gather all quotes (remove personal info you don't want to share).
  2. 2Ask AI to put them in one table: scope, materials, warranty, timeline, price.
  3. 3Have it list what is missing from each quote.
  4. 4Call contractors to fill gaps before deciding.
