For contractors who sell jobs

Know which jobs made you money.

Four kits you buy once and own. No monthly fee, no login, nothing to cancel.

Written by JD Davenport, Director of Sales at a residential contractor in West Michigan. He still sells for a living.

Detailing, power washing, lawn care, fencing, decking, excavating, painting, roofing. If you quote the work, do the work and send an invoice, the paperwork underneath is the same shape in all of them, and nobody ever writes it down. These are the parts that matter, written down, in files you keep.

You finished the job, you got paid, and you still cannot say whether you made money on it. You do good work, you quoted fairly, and they took the other number because nothing told them what the difference was. The work happens without you standing there, and it keeps coming back wrong. Missing part, second trip, nobody charged for either. You pay somebody a cut of the job and neither of you can prove the number, so it comes up again every month.

Everything, in one box

Four standards, both books, the seven AI prompts, and Helmed: a board that reads every kit at once and tells you what this week actually needs. One interview sets all four up. Helmed and the AI suite are not sold on their own at any price.

The Complete Standard
All four kits as one system, and Helmed, the board that reads every one of them at once and tells you what the week actually needs. One interview sets up all four. Both books are in it. Helmed and the AI suite are not sold on their own at any price.

Or one problem at a time

A kit is not a template pack. It is the written standard, the spreadsheets that enforce it, the browser tool that does the day of work by hand, a four minute guide for whoever you hand it to, and two AI prompts: one that sets the whole thing up by interviewing you, one that runs the monthly pass with you. Every file is editable and carries your name, not mine. One business, yours forever, nothing expires and nothing phones home.

The alternative is hiring somebody to build it, or living with it for another year.

The Job Cost Standard
Reconcile a year of payments in a day and come out knowing which jobs made money. Twelve reconciliation tests, an exception register, the one day audit run sheet, the job cost workbook in two editions, a crew rate card, an estimating gap list, and Surfaced.

The Appointment Standard
The hour between arriving at somebody's property and leaving it, written down. Nine steps for the vehicle, a sixty page field guide in your name, the page you leave with somebody getting other quotes, the nine things customers say, a lead log, and Landed.

The Production Standard
Two gates and the loop between them. One before material is ordered, one the day the job finishes, and a record that turns what the second one catches into what the first one checks. Plus the Production Board and Charted.

The Commission Standard
Every rep knows exactly what a job pays before they sell it, and can check the math themselves. Plan standard, compensation agreement language, a margin fail-safe, the calculator, a statement template, a reporting SOP, a rollout plan, and Banked.

What it clears before it reaches you

Every kit goes through a shipping gate that holds thirty-two mechanical checks, and runs every one that applies to it. Each check stands behind a real failure that already happened once, and several were added the day a check caught something in a kit that had already shipped. All four pass, and every spreadsheet in them has been opened and calculated rather than just written. What is still open is named on the questions page rather than buried.

The books

Your books are right and your jobs are lying to you. Twelve rules of evidence, how to reconcile a year of payments in a day, and one chapter on every time the method produced a confident wrong answer.

Or have it built for you

Five pieces of work I take on
A kit rebuilt in your name and colors, your own process written down, a document you already have fixed, what your customer reads, or an hour on one problem. Everything else is a kit and I will tell you so. No login to your systems, ever.

Or read the answer first

Twenty-nine questions, answered in full on a page of their own. Free, no email, no account. Each one ends at the kit that does the work, if you want it to.

Longer than an answer, shorter than a kit: Notes is one argument to a page, written to be read on its own.
