    How it works

    From messy bid docs to leveled comparison in four steps.

    Step 1

    Drop in bids

    PDFs, spreadsheets, emails. Any format subs send. We extract the data.

    Step 2

    Level automatically

    Every bid parsed and leveled against your scope. Side-by-side in minutes.

    Step 3

    Spot the gaps

    Inclusions, exclusions, missing scope. All surfaced before you commit.

    Step 4

    Award with confidence

    Documented decisions. Clear rationale. Move faster on the right subs.

    Extraction

    Any format. Every detail.

    Subs send bids however they want. PDFs, spreadsheets, emails. Scaffold extracts pricing, scope, inclusions, and exclusions automatically.

    • No more re-keying data from PDFs into spreadsheets.
    • Handles messy formats, inconsistent layouts, scanned docs.
    • Every line item parsed and ready to compare.
