Outcomes

⏱ Pending — Not sent yet. Takeoff/proposal still in progress.

📤 Submitted — Proposal sent, waiting on client's decision.

🏆 Won (Full) — Client accepted the entire bid. All scope awarded.

🏅 Won — Partial — Client awarded part of the bid. Example: BCK won house lots but not the road. Enter total in "Bid Value" and actually-won portion in "Won Amount".

❌ Lost — Went to a competitor, project cancelled, or client didn't respond. Zero revenue.

♻ WithdrawnYou pulled the bid before a decision. Scope changed, priced wrong, ran out of time, etc.

⛔ No Bid — Declined to bid. Out of scope, bad fit, not worth it. Doesn't count in win-rate math.

Win/Loss Reasons

Won — Price was right: Your number was competitive. No pushback or shopping around.

Won — Client relationship: Got the job because they know and trust you. Loyalty/repeat business, not price.

Won — Turnaround speed: Chose you because you could deliver faster than competitors. Deadline met.

Won — Quality/detail: Your proposal was more thorough or professional. Extra depth of work won them over.

Lost — Our price too high: Over budget or competitor was cheaper. Pricing concern on your end.

Lost — Competitor underpriced: Someone lowballed to get the work. Usually a race-to-the-bottom competitor, not always your pricing.

Lost — Couldn't meet timeline: Client needed it faster than you could deliver. Capacity issue — might justify hiring Mike more hours or turning down low-priority work.

Lost — No response from client: Ghosted. Black hole. Worth one follow-up before marking Lost.

Lost — Scope changed: Project scope shifted so much your proposal no longer applied. Not really a rejection of you.

Other: Use the Notes field to explain. If this comes up often we should add it as its own category.

Why track this?

  • Win rate tells you if your pricing is market-competitive
  • Reasons show you patterns — if half your losses are "timeline", you have a capacity problem to solve
  • Partial wins reveal which scope items consistently get cut — might indicate overpricing on those specific line items
  • Cycle time tells you how long clients take to decide — useful for forecasting

How to Increase Your Multiple (1.5x → 3.0x+)

Reality Check

📈
Business age: ~1 year (founded late 2025) At this stage most buyers value at 1.5–2.0x SDE. Fastest path to higher multiple: get Mike billing independently + land 2–3 retainer clients.
📈
CaveatThis is a planning tool, not a formal appraisal. A professional business valuation would consider market comps, risk factors, and buyer-specific synergies.

Recurring Cost Projection (Annual)

Itemized recurring expense forecast, grouped by frequency. Drives the break-even baseline used in the What-If Modeler.

Placeholder Items (Fill In When Ready)

These aren't in the annual total yet — add them in the workbook and the dashboard will pick them up on next refresh.

Projects & Plan Sets — QuickBooks Custom Fields

Rollup by your QuickBooks Project, Plan Set, and Plan Set Date custom fields (enabled on Sales Receipts, Invoices, and Estimates).

How to Make This Tab Useful

Step 1 — Populate the custom fields on every invoice & estimate On each new invoice in QuickBooks, fill in the Project name (e.g. "NEP Oak St Paving"), Plan Set (e.g. "Rev B"), and Plan Set Date. These fields already exist in your QB custom fields list.
📊
Step 2 — Refresh the dashboard Each refresh will re-pull custom field values and produce a per-project P&L: total billed, total paid, balance due, plan revisions, and days-from-plan-set to invoice.
All 4 custom field slots in use — including Bid Status QB custom fields now track: Project, Plan Set, Plan Set Date, and Bid Status (Submitted / Won / Lost / Pending). Values pulled on every daily refresh and auto-populate the Win/Loss tab below.
