You can price defined risk. You cannot fairly price a vague note that becomes new work after award. We read the entire bid set and hand you the exposure — so you price it, or issue the RFI, while it still costs you nothing.
Request an auditDeferred scope, delegated design with no criteria, diagrammatic MEP through a tight existing shell, "field verify," "as required," "match existing." Each one is undefined work that lands on you after award — as change orders you eat, or claims you fight. By the time it surfaces on site, the leverage is gone.
Every audit reads your bid set across eight dimensions of risk and biddability. You get a short, cited list of what actually moves money — and the specific action to take on each before bid day.
Where the documents force you to guess — and where that guessing concentrates your pricing risk.
The post-award change orders this set will generate, sized as a bracketed dollar range from real quantities.
Duration realism, phasing and occupancy constraints, liquidated damages, and compression traps.
Your prolonged-overhead exposure when the schedule moves — and whether the contract lets you recover it.
The clauses that transfer undefined scope and concealed-condition risk onto you — flagged verbatim, with the RFI that neutralizes each.
Cross-discipline clashes and the scope-gap boundaries between trades that become your problem in the field.
Allowances, unit prices, and the funding structures buried in the documents that shift dollars after award.
Whether the owner's package and administration are set up for a clean project — or a contentious one.
Nemesis is our proprietary analysis engine. It runs the same disciplined three-stage pipeline on every bid set — built for precision over volume, so you get the findings that matter, not a list that buries them.
A deterministic takeoff reads every drawing sheet and extracts scale, dimensions, and geometry. Sheets with no scale or no dimensions are flagged — you can't price what the documents refuse to define.
The full set is read against a library of risk-language patterns, trade-coordination interfaces, and Massachusetts c.149 requirements — every signal cited to the exact spec, sheet, or phrase.
Findings are scored against outcomes from 33 real Massachusetts projects. Only what is real, material, and non-obvious ships. What it suppresses, it counts — proof of discipline.
Price the risk you can define. RFI the risk you can't. Walk away from the bid that's a trap. For active bidders, every project you price gets audited — the edge becomes routine, and the margin you protect is your own.
