How to Read Your Scorecard
Once you’ve completed each question, add up your points and look for your scoring zone below:
🟢 Clear Go (High Score) 42–50 Points
What it means: This project hits your absolute sweet spot. The scope is clear, the client is reputable, and the profit potential is high.
Your next step: Proceed to estimating with high confidence and put your best foot forward.
🟡 Go With Conditions (The Danger Zone) 33–41 Points
What it means: Most commercial bids land here. It's a real opportunity with two or three soft factors — usually contract terms, sub coverage, or design maturity.
Your next step: Price the weak factors or mitigate them. Don't bid it as though they aren't there.
When the score lands in the middle, that's what I do all day. Send it over and I'll read it before we talk.
🔴 Direct No-Go (Low Score) 32 Points and below
What it means: High risk, low margin, or a toxic client pattern.
Your next step: Walk away immediately and save your team's energy for a more profitable opportunity.
