How it works
From a pasted quote to a plain-English report, step by step.
- Step 1
Paste, upload, or photograph your quote
Paste the text straight in, upload a .txt or .pdf, or snap a photo of a paper quote with your phone. Photos and scanned pages go through on-device text recognition (OCR) so a phone photo works as well as a typed document.
- Step 2
It's checked against a fixed list of issues
The analyzer reads the quote's own text for padded or vague line items, whether VAT is shown as included or added on top, missing warranty or guarantee terms, unclear scope, and a missing start/finish timeline — the things that are easy to miss when you're reading a quote for the first time.
- Step 3
You get a structured, plain-English report
A short summary, a list of red flags with a severity rating on each, what's missing, a reasonableness read with a confidence level, an overall severity score, a caveated "how much you might save" estimate when the quote gives a clear basis for one, and a set of specific negotiation questions.
Free, and shown in full
Every report is shown in full, free — every red flag, missing item, severity score, and negotiation question, with nothing to unlock and nothing to pay.
Going deeper
Tuned per quote type
Builder, mechanic, medical, legal, and mover quotes each have their own benchmarks baked into the analysis — for example NHBRC enrolment and workmanship guarantees for a builder quote, or OEM-versus-aftermarket parts for a mechanic quote. The analyzer works out which one fits from the quote's own text; you don't have to pick.
Your area, if you give it
Add your area or suburb and the reasonableness read can fold in a general, clearly-caveated sense of whether the pricing looks typical there. This is the model's general knowledge, not a verified local price database, and it never changes what the report says about the quote's own text — only the reasonableness read.
Compare quotes for the same job
Got two or three quotes for the same job? Paste them all into Compare mode and see a side-by-side read: best value and why, most padded, what each one is missing, and the negotiation questions worth asking across all of them.
