The quote gap analyzer works down one written bid. It shows what the bid never put in writing. Then it hands you the questions to send back.

Copy the questions to send
JavaScript is off, so the tool cannot shorten the list for you or build a copy-ready block. Nothing is hidden. Every line of the checklist and every question are printed in full below, in order. Work down the page. Copy the questions under the lines your bid does not cover.
Nothing checked yet. The price half of this tool is held. The note in the result says why.
Result
The method ran. The output is held.
This tool was planned as a cost range planner. The gap check below runs. The price part does not. No dollar figure appears anywhere on this page: not a range, not an average, not a per-square-foot rate.
Loaded the checklist of scope items that written bids most often leave out. It comes from the homeowner research corpus.
Read the answers you gave for this one bid.
Turned every line you marked not stated or vague into a question for that contractor.
Stopped before any price. There is nothing to divide, average or project.
What is missing
A dated local price set for North County San Diego. Coastal SD Pros has not published one. National medians exist in the research corpus. A national median is not a North County price. Publishing one under a local heading would be a made-up local number, and this page does not do that.
What has to exist before a range is published here
Written bid figures collected for each project type in the 6 North County cities, each with its collection date and its city.
A count of how many bids sit behind each range, published next to the range. Then a reader can see if it rests on many bids or on one.
A named source for every figure, so any number on the page can be traced and re-checked.
Owner review and approval of that source set before it is published.
Until all 4 exist, this block stays exactly as it is. There is no partial version and no progress to show.
This company's license, bond and insurance
Not checked by this tool
This tool reads your answers about a piece of paper. It looks up nothing about the business. It cannot tell you if the license is current, what classifications it holds, or what cover the company carries.
Workers' compensation is not general liability insurance. This line says nothing about whether this business carries general liability cover.
With JavaScript off, the tool cannot build your short list. Nothing is held back. Each question sits under its own line in the checklist above, in the same words it would use here.
Questions to send back
Word check on the text you pasted
This is a literal search for those words in the text you pasted, and nothing more. A word being present does not mean the job is covered. A word being absent does not mean it is not covered. A bid can describe haul-off without ever using the word.
Send this to the contractor as it is, or paste it into your own email. You send it. Nothing here contacts anyone for you.
Send the same questions to every bidder. Then compare the written answers, not just the price on the last page.
Questions about the written bid, before I decide:
How this works
You tell the tool, line by line, what the written bid states. The lines come from a homeowner research corpus: the scope items bids most often leave out. Each line you mark not stated or vague becomes a plain question for that contractor. The tool reads nothing about the company. It sends nothing anywhere. It runs in this browser.
What it can't tell you
It does not tell you what the job should cost. It does not say if a price is fair, or which bid is better. Coastal SD Pros has not published a local cost dataset, so no price range appears on this page. It does not check the license, the bond, or any insurance. It does not read the bid for you. A bid that states every line can still be the wrong bid.
Two bids for the same job can be far apart because one quietly leaves out the permit, the dumpster, the drywall patch, or the brand of the thing being installed. This tool does not tell you what a job costs. It tells you what your bid never put in writing.
