How the roll-up gate works
How the Quote-to-Actual Cost Calibration gate works
This tool grades an open quote book against what your own closed jobs already proved it costs. It reads 4 work types and rolls them into one verdict — the worst, never the average — then a gate that can only make it worse.
The 4 work types
The desk verdict is driven by the SHARE of open-quote dollars still priced on a work type that isn't calibrated - not by how many work types are blind. Over 35% of the book on unproven or blind costing reads QUOTE BOOK COMPROMISED even if the rest of the shop is fine.
Why: Three of four work types are calibrated or merely drifting - but Welded Assemblies is QUOTING BLIND, with labor running +22% over quoted, and it carries $176,000 of open quotes, including the $122,000 Ironline Structures job still priced on disproven labor cost. That one work type pushes 45.3% of the open book onto unproven or blind pricing - past the 35% line - so the desk reads QUOTE BOOK COMPROMISED.
No single work type is the crisis — the clustering is. The roll-up takes the worst, the gate escalates when trouble compounds, and it names the one thing to fix first. Grades cost estimates, never people. Not an accounting or audit opinion. Runs offline in the workbook and engine.
