Every bid and contract, built from work you've actually done.
Kaska reads your whole bid folder and prices it at your own crews' real rates — then reviews the subcontract before you sign. Nothing guessed, every line cited.
Now onboarding a first group of design-partner estimating teams — calibrating Kaska on their own portfolios.
From a folder of chaos to one number you control.
The ITB, the takeoff, a dozen quotes, the schedule, the subcontract — Cortex reads the whole pile and turns years of your history into structured, cited output you can stand behind.
Everything reads from your history.
Cortex turns years of your jobs into a living model. These four surfaces put it to work.

From the invite to the live job — one continuous, cited thread.
Build the bid from your Basis.
Point Trueline at the folder. It reads every document, counts the quantities off your takeoff, and prices the work at rates you've actually run.
- Reads ITB, takeoff, schedules and quotes — with a cited read receipt for each file.
- Prices off the Basis — your material & labor atlas, learned from every closed job.
- Recommends the profit-maximizing price on a win curve fit to your history.
Read the subcontract like your sharpest PM.
Redline marks up the terms that cost subs money, checks the scope against what you actually bid, and shows you who you're signing with.
- Scope review — flags where the subcontract drifts from the bid you priced.
- Clause review — pay-if-paid, no-damages-for-delay, retention and indemnity, ranked.
- GC Dossier — how that GC has really behaved on your past jobs.
7.3 Payment is contingent upon Owner's payment to Contractor as a condition precedent.
9.1 Sole remedy for delay is an extension of time; no damages of any kind shall be payable.
12.2 Contractor shall retain ten percent (10%) until final completion.

We'll calibrate Cortex on your closed jobs and walk a live bid with you.
However your trade counts, Kaska prices it.
Fixtures, devices, tons, linear feet — the estimating logic is the same, and the contract risk is shared. Here's what that looks like across the trades.
A number you can stand behind.
Your data stays yours
Your history calibrates your bids only — never pooled into anyone else's model.
Every line cited
Each figure carries the file, page and job it came from. Traceable end to end.
Deterministic
The pricer is a pure function — the same documents always produce the same bid.
No industry defaults
Rates and markups come from your closed jobs, not a market average.
Everything working behind the bid.
Reviewable, auditable, and calibrated to your business — not a black box.
A per-file account of what was parsed, cited, and skipped.
A second pass flags what an estimator would look for and missed.
The pricer is a pure function — identical documents, identical bid.
Two independent builds price every bid; a gap over 15% is flagged.
Your material & labor rates, learned from every closed job.
Every line tagged with the file, page, and job it came from.
