estimate judge

Judge the estimate before you pay.

Paste a sanitized project estimate and get the questions to ask before approving vendor, contractor, agency, website, or app work.

The free check runs in your browser. The paid $9 kit adds the reusable red-flag checklist, clarification email, milestone-payment prompts, and handoff questions.

What it checks

Price alone is rarely the real problem. The expensive mistake is approving an estimate with vague scope, front-loaded payment, unclear ownership, or no support boundary.

High-dollar estimate with payment due before a visible milestone.
Deliverables described as setup, support, implementation, or launch without exact outputs.
Timeline language like ASAP, TBD, flexible, or launch support without dates.
Missing source files, repo access, CMS ownership, account ownership, or license terms.
No change-request pricing, cancellation path, bug-fix window, or handoff checklist.
