Quote Maven · The proposal engine
Priced to a number · Open book · One motion to signed
The proposal,
priced to a number.
Stop authoring from a blank page and marking up by feel. A takeoff or your price book mints branded good, better, best proposals. You set the margin you want, Quote Maven solves the price, and the open book proves it. Finance and e-sign land the close in one motion.
Target
Margin solved, never a markup guessed.
Net
Floor after commission and dealer fee.
1
Motion from build to signed contract.
01
The condition
Most proposal tools stop at a pretty PDF.
You still author from scratch, you still mark up by feel, and the close still lives in another tab while the customer cools off. The document is not the problem. The motion is.
A
The blank page
Every proposal starts empty. The rep retypes scope and pricing the system already knows.
B
Markup by feel
You add a percentage and hope. You learn the real margin only after commission and fees, too late to act.
C
The close lives elsewhere
The PDF is done, then financing and the signature happen in two more tools while the homeowner reconsiders.
∎
Quote Maven
One room: minted, priced to a number, open book, financed, e-signed. The whole motion ends in a contract.

Roofing, on its own island
Any operator, and it composes with Measure, Ledger, and Jobs

Net margin after commission and dealer fee: 35.0%, on the owner's floor.

Fig. 01Solved to target, footed to the total
You set the margin. Quote Maven solves the price.
The sell is not a markup. Set the margin you want and the price solves as cost over one minus margin, with overhead folded into the basis and every line pro-rated so the ledger always foots to the total.
The Margin Floor reads the truth: it nets out the commission waterfall and, on a financed deal, the lender dealer fee. Discount all you want. When a tier drops below the floor, one tap restores it to land exactly on the owner's number. No one else nets out the dealer fee.
04
The motion
1
Mint three tiers
A takeoff or a saved template becomes branded good, better, best in seconds. BETTER is recommended by default. The rep edits, never authors from zero.
2
Price to the number
Name the target margin per tier. Quote Maven solves the sell, folds in overhead, and foots every line so the open book reconciles to the total.
3
Finance in place
Surface the cheapest monthly payment from the lender shelf, with the second-look cascade behind it. The floor stays honest net of the dealer fee.
4
E-sign, become a contract
Accept selects a tier and signs the agreement in the same view. The signed deal mints a house contract, so Jobs and Ledger pick it up unchanged.
