A walkthrough of what Haytham sees when he uses the tool: where data flows in, what the workspace feels like in use, and what comes out at the end. Built for review ahead of Sprint Session Two so you can see the shape of the build before the build itself starts.
Per-quote inputs on the left, the build's processing pipeline in the middle, deliverables on the right. The data store sits beneath the build. Click any block for what it does and how.
Same MVP core, with dashed-outline blocks showing what Stage 2 adds. Each Stage 2 capability reuses the MVP's data layer – nothing forces a rewrite of the core.
One Bluebeam upload plus a small project-metadata form. Parse status while files process, and an extracted-data preview before the workspace opens. The VC4.x structure is encoded into the build, not uploaded per quote.
Section-grouped table view per Haytham's SOP. Edit-in-place. Confidence flags are clinical: "Confidence: low. Review needed." surfaces the why directly. Per-line margin override visible when used; otherwise the supplier or quote default applies silently.

Per-line overrides are available when a contractor needs a different rate. Effective margin per line = line override → supplier default → quote default. None of the lines above carry an override, so the quote-level 30% applies. The override interaction itself is shown on the next screen.
When the tool flags a line as low confidence, the estimator decides what happens next. The tool offers its best suggestions, but never picks for the estimator. Whatever Haytham confirms here becomes a future training signal, so the next quote with a similar item lands at higher confidence.
B matched, but the 600-800mm size variant has no prior pricing. Boulders typically priced individually based on supplier walk-through.
The tool suggests the closest catalogue entries and any prior usage from your seeded projects. If none fit, add this as a new size variant for B1.
When a contractor needs a different rate to keep the quote competitive, the override sits at the most specific level you choose:
Plants don't quote like materials. Each plant is supplied by pot size, with separate set-out and install hours captured against Designer and Trade rates. The build mirrors the PLANTS tab in your VC4.x, with the same plant-code construction rule from your SOP step 12 (ALObri, FICgrn).

Plants are quoted differently from other materials. Each species is supplied by pot size (the matrix above), and labour is captured against Designer hours for set-out and Trade hours for install rather than per-line margin. Pricing comes from your supplier plant lists, not Bluebeam takeoffs.
