On bid day, your inbox explodes. 12 subs. 12 different formats. Excel files, PDFs, Word docs, and plain emails — all arriving at the same time. You're comparing apples to oranges while the clock ticks.
Sub A excludes demo. Sub B includes it. You don't catch it.
Manual bid leveling takes 4–8 hours per bid package.
A missed $2K item becomes a $6K change order mid-project.
Exclusion clauses buried on page 8. Nobody reads page 8.

Sub excludes site cleanup
You win the bid at that price
Sub invoices for extra work
You pay or delay the project
Nullscope catches this in 60 seconds. Before you sign. Before it becomes your problem.

Subject: Bid for Riverside Office — Plumbing
We are pleased to submit our bid for the plumbing scope at Riverside Office Park.
Base Bid: $142,500
Scope includes:
— Domestic water supply and distribution
— Sanitary waste and vent system
— Fixture rough-in and trim
Exclusions: Fire suppression, gas piping, roof drains, site utilities, permit fees, testing and balancing.
This bid is valid for 30 days.
Request clarification or revised bid before signing. See suggested questions below.
1. "Please confirm whether fire suppression rough-in is included or excluded from your base bid."
2. "Can you provide a separate line item for permit fees and testing?"
The plumbing sub's exclusions above represent up to $71,500 in unassigned scope. That's a change order waiting to happen — or worse, a margin-killing assumption you made at award.
No fluff. Straight answers to the things estimators want to know before forwarding their first bid.
Yes. Your bids are processed in real-time and never stored permanently. Each analysis runs in an isolated session — your sub's pricing and exclusions are never logged, shared, or used to train any model. We treat your bid data the same way you treat your project budgets: strictly confidential.
Nullscope flags what's explicitly excluded or ambiguous in the bid text. It doesn't replace your estimator's judgment — it gives them a structured starting point so nothing obvious slips through. Think of it as a second set of eyes that never gets tired on bid day. You still make the final call.
Procore and Autodesk are project management platforms — they don't analyze bid content. Nullscope is a single-purpose AI tool that reads the actual language inside a subcontractor's bid and tells you what's missing. It works alongside whatever software you already use, with zero onboarding required.
Forward anything — PDF (text or scanned), Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, or even a plain email with the bid typed in the body. Nullscope handles all of them. If your sub sent it to you, you can forward it to us.
Most reports are delivered within 60 seconds of forwarding the bid. Complex bids with multiple attachments may take up to 3 minutes. During the free audit period, allow up to 24 hours as reports are manually reviewed before delivery.
No. There's no portal to log into, no software to install, and no training required. Your estimators keep doing exactly what they do — the only change is they forward the bid email to your Nullscope inbox instead of just saving it. That's it.
