Quote-to-Build

Two independent reads on every RFQ — winnability and worth-winning — with a dispositive economics gate that forces NO-QUOTE on uncosted tooling or a missing margin path. Reclaim the quoting hours your desk spends on RFQs it should never quote.

Measure the drift between what you quoted and what closed jobs actually cost — per work type, per component — then see the dollars of open quotes still priced on estimates your own data has disproven. DO NOT SEND AS PRICED until it's repriced or recalibrated.

Score every closed order against two clocks — the promise you gave first and the promise you gave last. The spread is the measured size of the re-promising habit, and a key-account order re-promised twice trips the verdict to PROMISE INFLATION. Deterministic, offline, $89.

Computed lead = backlog hours ÷ demonstrated weekly hours — per work center, from your own actuals. Confront every quoted lead with it, and let a DIVERGING QUEUE gate force LEAD-TIME FICTION on any center booking more than it burns. Deterministic, offline, $79.

Every open order graded on the fundamentals — releases complete, material on hand or arriving with real production margin — and the book read the way the bank reads it: what share of booked dollars can you actually build? READY TO BUILD / MATERIAL RACE / PAPER ORDER, with a red-zone gate. Deterministic, offline, $89.

A quote is a chain of four promises: worth chasing, priced right, lead time that holds, and buildable once they say yes. Four RedHub Systems check all four links — RFQ triage, cost calibration, backlog reality, order buildability — in the order a quote travels. $294 versus $346 separately, plus a connective playbook. Deterministic, offline.
