Find the ballparkbefore the budget gets weird.

Someone asks your number. You freeze, guess, and think about it for three days. Fill in the slip below — what the work is, where it is, how much of it there is — and the counter prints a low, fair, and high range, plus the reasons behind each one and the words to say out loud.

Read this bit, honestly

Rough estimate

What this is

An informed guess, written fresh by an AI model from the details you typed. Useful for orientation: are you in the right stadium, or three towns over? Good for sanity-checking a number before a conversation.

What this is not

Not an official quote. Not a market report or salary database. Not financial, legal, or tax advice. Not guaranteed salary data, and not a promise that anyone will pay it. Numbers can be wrong. Verify with real quotes, real contracts, and real people before money moves.
