Contractor payment recovery tool
Catches the money small contractors lose — approved change orders never billed, quotes that went cold, progress draws nobody chased.
The problem
Contractors lose 10 to 15% of project value to change orders that were done but never invoiced. The tools that track this are $300-a-month platforms that expect you to run your whole business inside them.
My role
Product definition, go-to-market design, and build.
Decisions worth defending
- A point tool bolted onto how they already work, never the system of record. The moment it becomes the system of record it needs migration, sales, and support — which breaks the model.
- Free document generators as the acquisition front door, ranking for template searches the incumbents ignore because they optimize for software searches.
- Notification emails carry a model-written narrative above a deterministic fact block, and the send never blocks on the model.
Where it stands
Built and deployed, with the free document generators live as the acquisition front door. Pre-launch.
