approval check
Agency estimate judge
Agency estimates can sound premium and still be hard to operate. Judge the estimate by the work you can accept, own, and hand off.
The checker opens with the same approval lens: Deliverables vs strategy, Acceptance events, Source files, Support window.
Judge before approval
The goal is not to negotiate every price down. It is to avoid approving unclear work, risky payment timing, or missing handoff terms.
Privacy rule: remove vendor names, client names, emails, addresses, account numbers, contracts, and confidential project details before using the browser-side checker.

Ask before approving
