Question 1

What does ScopeSpindle do?

Accepted Answer

ScopeSpindle reads a commercial HVAC bid package and turns the document signal into a clear first-pass recommendation: BID, REVIEW, or NO-BID. It surfaces cited risks, missing requirements, open questions, and the evidence behind the call.

Question 2

Who is ScopeSpindle built for?

Accepted Answer

It is built for small and midsize U.S. commercial HVAC contractors who need to decide which opportunities deserve estimating time before the team spends hours in the drawings.

Question 3

What is included in a bid intelligence report?

Accepted Answer

A report includes the recommendation, headline risk, requirement and missing-information counts, source citations, suggested RFIs, and a concise explanation of what the documents support. The labels are designed to help an estimator move from intake to action quickly.

Question 4

Does ScopeSpindle replace an estimator?

Accepted Answer

No. ScopeSpindle is a first-pass decision layer, not a final authority. Your team keeps control of the estimate and uses the cited findings to decide what to pursue, review, clarify, or decline.

Question 5

What can I analyze?

Accepted Answer

Start with a commercial HVAC bid package containing the plans, specifications, addenda, and related files your team normally reviews during intake. The free analysis flow is designed to test one package and show the kind of signal ScopeSpindle can extract.
