Description: We help you qualify vague app inquiries before your engineers scope them, with a brief that shows what is known and what is missing.

For established app agencies

# Give engineers a useful brief before they estimate.

We turn app-project inquiries into a brief showing known facts and missing information.

Working with teams in Canada and the US

Inspect an inquiry handoff

## Send the facts forward. Keep the gaps visible.

An engineer should be able to read the request without recreating the sales conversation.

Fictional project inquiry. Select the facts supplied to see what the estimator still needs.

Incoming request

> We want a booking app for our service teams. What would it take to build?

What else did the buyer supply?A decision-maker is namedA budget range is suppliedThe technical constraint is stated

Estimator brief**Booking app**

### Submitted facts

-   Request: a booking app for service teams.
-   The operations lead owns the project decision.

### Questions still open

-   What budget range has the buyer approved?
-   Which systems or technical constraints affect the build?
-   What timing is required, and why?

Next owner

**Sales owner reviews fit before engineering estimates.**

Keep the open questions visible. The sales owner can clarify them without asking an engineer to reconstruct the request.

1 of 3 sample facts supplied. 3 open questions remain; no quote or qualification decision is made.

Relevant work

## Qualification work we have published

5% to 80% qualified leads in 30 days

For Appomate, an app-development business, we added qualifying questions up front, wired the lead flow into the CRM and tracked which leads became real sales conversations. The qualified share of leads went from 5% to 80% within 30 days, on 285 leads at $39.50 each.

Paid-media and CRM work for one app-development business. It is not a result from the estimator-handoff implementation described here.

## App-agency inquiry handoff

-   Project-fit rules agreed with sales and delivery.
-   One inquiry form and CRM route with clear ownership.
-   An estimator brief containing submitted facts and visible unknowns.
-   Duplicate and exception handling, acceptance checks and a team handover.

Pricing

## Start with a paid, two-week audit

The published two-week AI Opportunity Audit (a separate fixed fee) maps your inquiry-to-estimate workflow, the engineering time it costs you today and a 90-day roadmap. It is credited toward the build if you proceed. Builds are quoted from that roadmap; software licenses and additional pipelines are separate. Paid-media management minimums do not apply to this implementation.

### The inquiries your agency receives

-   You already receive a recurring flow of project inquiries.
-   Your team can define project minimums, supported work and current capacity.
-   There is a named sales owner and access to the existing CRM can be agreed.

### Decisions your agency keeps

-   Automated binding quotes or promises of delivery capacity.
-   A full CRM replacement or unlimited integrations.

Project inquiry checklist

Illustrative walkthrough

## One vague inquiry becomes a brief an estimator can use

Open each step to see what is captured, what stays open and who decides.

1.  Inquiry arrivesRaw
    
    An idea for an on-demand booking app, with no budget, timeline or decision-maker named.
    
2.  Known facts capturedIn place
    
    Who is asking, what they want built and who decides, taken from the form answers.
    
3.  Unknowns listedStill needed
    
    Budget range, technical constraints and timing are listed as open questions instead of being guessed.
    
4.  Fit rules appliedYour rules
    
    Your minimum project size and supported work decide whether this goes to sales. The rules are written with your team.
    
5.  A person decidesHuman call
    
    A named owner accepts or declines before any engineer spends time scoping.
    

Illustrative example. The request is invented.

## From inquiry to estimate

1.  ### Define fit together
    
    Agree which project facts change the decision to involve an estimator.
    
2.  ### Carry the facts forward
    
    Connect the inquiry and CRM handoff without inventing missing answers.
    
3.  ### Keep judgment with your team
    
    Route exceptions and project decisions to the right person before a quote is prepared.
    

## Discuss your intake

Use a 30-minute consultation to explain how inquiries reach your engineers today, check fit and agree the useful next step. No CRM access is needed to book.
