Template, not built for a specific business

A written estimate the customer signs off on, before anyone touches the job

Field-service and restoration businesses that price after the fact, or give a verbal number before a crew starts, tend to accumulate the same dispute: a customer or an insurer sees a final bill that does not match what they thought they agreed to. This page shows one small, working tool that closes that gap: an itemized estimate generated before work starts, a timestamped customer sign-off on that estimate, and a documentation packet that ties each billed line item to real evidence, so a disputed invoice gets resolved by pulling a record instead of a manager re-litigating it by phone.

Everything below is fictional. When this gets built for a real business, it reads from whatever already captures a site visit or job intake, a paper form, a tablet app, and adds the itemized estimate, the sign-off, and the documentation packet on top, without replacing how the visit itself happens.

Job record & documentation packet

Staff message guardrail check

Paste a draft customer message or call note. This checks it against a short list of phrasing patterns that read as promising insurance coverage, promising to negotiate with a customer's insurer directly, or skipping a written estimate, patterns that in at least one published case have been found to cross into unlicensed public-adjusting conduct or unlicensed-practice exposure. It is a simple keyword check for illustration, not legal advice or a substitute for compliance review.

How this gets built for real

The estimate categories are illustrative. A real build maps to whatever pricing structure the business already uses, whether that's Xactimate-style line items or its own price book, it doesn't require adopting new software elsewhere.
"Signed" here is a typed name and a timestamp. A real build can use an actual e-signature provider if the business wants a stronger legal record, this demo shows the workflow, not a specific vendor integration.
The guardrail check is a keyword list, not legal review. It catches obvious phrasing patterns as a first line of defense; it does not replace training or a compliance sign-off on communication templates.
