You Already Know How This Goes

A quote request lands in your inbox. Maybe it's an RFQ with drawings attached, maybe it's three lines and a couple of photos. Either way, it needs a real number — so it sits until whoever handles pricing has time, and that's usually someone who's also running jobs all day.

A few days later, the proposal goes out. Sometimes you win it. Sometimes the customer already said yes to whoever got back to them first — and nobody tells you that's why.

That lost work never shows up in a report. It just never comes in.

What Gets Built

One system, built around the way your business already quotes — not the other way around.

  1. Capture the Request

    Email, web form, forwarded RFQ — whatever channel your requests come through today, the system picks them up right there.

  2. Pull Out the Scope

    Quantities, site details, and dates get pulled out automatically — along with anything the request is missing.

  3. Apply Your Pricing

    Your rates, your markups, your minimums. It prices the way you actually price, not off some generic template.

  4. Draft the Proposal

    A branded proposal in your format, with your terms, ready to go.

  5. Get Your Approval

    Nothing goes out until you've looked it over. Change whatever you want first — you stay in control of the decisions that matter.

  6. Follow Up

    If the customer goes quiet, follow-ups go out on schedule so the quote doesn't die in their inbox. They can send automatically, or wait for your approval if you want them more personal.

Let's Get Started Today

Built So You Can Trust the Numbers

A fast quote doesn't mean much if the price is wrong. That's why the system is built around checks that catch problems before a proposal ever reaches you. No black boxes, no surprises.

Start With Your Past Quotes

Before anything gets built, we go through your recent quotes together — so the system learns how you actually price, not how a template thinks you should.

Flag What's Missing

If a request leaves out a quantity or site detail the price depends on, the draft calls it out instead of guessing. You fill in the gap — the system doesn't invent one.

Test Against Real Jobs

Before anything goes live, past requests run through the system and get checked against what you actually sent. You see the results, I refine if needed, and nothing launches until you're confident in the numbers.

Keep It Documented and Yours

Every system is built in modular, well-documented pieces — so if one part runs into an issue, the rest keeps running. And because nothing is a black box, your team can see exactly what's happening at every step. If you ever want to switch providers or bring things in-house, you can pick up right where I left off.

What's Included

The Right Tool First

Before building anything, I check whether something off the shelf already fits how you quote. If it does, I'll set it up and configure it around your pricing instead of charging you to reinvent it. Custom only makes sense where no product fits.

A Number to Beat

We start by measuring how long quotes actually take you today. That baseline is what the system gets held to — so you'll know whether it worked, not just whether it's running. A short monthly report tracks the same numbers going forward, so you can see it's still saving time next year, not just this month.

Training for Whoever Uses It

Your estimator or office manager gets walked through the system until they can run it without me. A system nobody uses is a system that didn't work.

Who's Building It

Cort Honey

I'm Cort Honey, an AI implementation and workflow automation consultant.

After earning a degree in engineering and management from Clarkson University, I worked as a project coordinator for New York State's Olympic Regional Development Authority, managing construction projects at Gore Mountain and Belleayre Mountain. I ran the bid process, worked with architects and engineers on bid documents, and coordinated the general, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical contractors through RFIs and change orders. I've sat on the side of the table that reads the bids.

For the past three years, I've worked as a senior editor at Security.org. These days, that means reviewing AI-generated content to catch factual errors, broken logic, and outdated information before it's published. That's the habit behind everything I build. Assume the output can be wrong, and build the checks that catch it.

You'll work directly with me from the first call through launch — no salesperson handing you off once the contract's signed.

Common Questions

What Does It Cost?

That depends on how you quote today — how requests come in and how involved your pricing is. After a call, you'll get the full cost in writing, including any monthly support, before any work starts. No surprises.

Does My Team Need to Learn New Software?

No. Approvals show up in the tools your team already uses — email, Slack, or whatever else you're working in. Nothing new to log into.

What Won't It Do?

It won't price work it has no basis for — unusual requests get flagged so you can price them by hand. It won't replace your judgment, either. It just gets a solid draft in front of you faster. And if your pricing currently lives in someone's head, the first step is getting it written down together.

What If You're Unavailable, or We Stop Working Together?

Everything is documented, so someone else can maintain it or your team can bring it in-house. If you ever stop paying for support, I'll hand the system over. No lock-in.
