THE QUOTE — Pricing & Scoping OS Brain
An OS brain, not a prompt pack. One orchestrator plus ten specialist sub-skills. You describe the situation in plain words — it picks the one specialist that fits, or chains several in sequence when the job spans stages.
The engine: a gated pipeline. THE QUOTE refuses to give you a number until it has what a real number requires. No price without a bounded scope. No quote without a floor. No discount without a trade. Refusing to guess is the product.
Inside — the orchestrator + 10 sub-skills
- Intake & Qualify — is this worth pricing at all?
- Scope & Boundary — deliverables and the out-of-scope list
- Effort Model — honest sizing, including the invisible work
- Pricing Model Select — fixed, day rate, retainer, or value
- Floor & Walk-Away — your private number, never crossed
- Quote Builder — the number and how it's structured
- Proposal Writer — the client-facing document
- Objection & Discount Defence — "too expensive", handled
- Scope Creep Guard — turn extras into paid change
- Rate Review — when and how to raise your rates
Say it in plain words: "Client wants a website, mentioned 5k, no brief yet" → it bounds the scope first. "They said my quote is too expensive" → it diagnoses the objection and checks your floor before conceding a penny.
