Free, once, no account

Send us one pay application. We will check it.

One G703 from a live project, with the names redacted if you prefer. We run six checks against the schedule of values it came from and send you back, in writing, what does not agree and what it is worth. Two working days. No charge, no account, and no follow up unless you ask for one.

What we do with it

Six checks, and a figure you can point at.

The same six every month, in the same order. Each finding names the line that caused it and the amount attached to it, so it can be shown to the contractor rather than argued about.

Linesagainst the schedule of valuesA line quietly reweighted upward is the cheapest way to accelerate cash
Totalsagainst the contract sumAnything else on the front sheet is a number nobody signed
Retainageagainst the rate in the contractHeld short is money released early and quietly
And three more. Contingency claimed against what was actually authorized, the front sheet against the lines behind it, and any single month movement large enough that somebody should open the backup rather than read the number. All six, in detail.

How to send it

Email the continuation sheet to the form on this page. A spreadsheet, CSV or XLSX, rather than a PDF: the contractor always has the spreadsheet, because the PDF is printed from it. If you also have the schedule of values from the GMP amendment, send that too and we can check more. The continuation sheet on its own is enough to start.

Redact the names if you want to. We do not need to know who the contractor is, and the checks do not depend on it.

What comes back

A written answer within two working days. Every finding names the line, the amount and the reason. At the end, the figure your own record supports: completed and stored to date as the lines add up, less anything the schedule does not support, less retainage at the contract rate, less what has already been certified.

If nothing disagrees, we say so. That is a useful answer too, and it is the one we would rather send than invent a finding to justify the exercise.

What this is not

It is not a certificate for payment, it is not advice on your contract, and it is not a substitute for the cost consultant, owner's representative or counsel you already use. I hold no professional credentials in the United States. What I produce is arithmetic from the documents, and every judgment stays with you.

What happens to your file

It is read by us and by nobody else. It is never sent to an external AI service for reading, scoring or summarizing, which is a written commitment in our terms of service rather than a line on a marketing page. We delete it once we have answered, unless you ask us to keep it.

Why we offer this

Because it is the fastest honest way for both sides to find out whether this is worth anything to you. We would rather spend two hours on your real file than thirty minutes showing you a demonstration project. If it finds something, you will want to know. If it finds nothing, you have learned that your process is sound and it cost you one email.

I do this myself and each of these is real work, so I take a limited number each week. If I am full I will say so and give you a date rather than leave you waiting.

Questions people ask

What exactly do you need?

One continuation sheet, the G703, as a spreadsheet rather than a PDF. Redact the names if you want to. If you can also send the schedule of values from the GMP amendment we can check more, but the continuation sheet alone is enough to start.

What do I get back?

A written list of what does not agree, each item with the line that caused it and the amount attached, plus the figure your own record supports. Within two working days. If nothing disagrees we tell you that, which is also worth knowing.

What does it cost?

Nothing. There is no account to create, no card, and no follow up unless you ask for one.

What happens to my file?

It is read by us and it is not sent to any external AI service for reading, scoring or summarizing. That is a written commitment in our terms of service. We delete the file after we have answered unless you ask us to keep it.

Is this a certificate or advice?

Neither. It is arithmetic from the documents, showing what a record built from your own contract can stand behind. Every judgment stays with you and with the people you already pay for it.

Send it here

One pay application. Six checks. Two working days.

Everything on this form except the file is used to write back to you. Nothing is passed on, and the file is deleted once I have answered unless you ask me to keep it.

Stored on my own server, read by me, never sent to an external AI service, and deleted once I have answered. That commitment is written into the terms of service rather than stated on a page.

One next step

One file. Two working days. No charge.

Email the continuation sheet and we will tell you what your own record supports.
