A scope tool. Not a platform.
We build one thing for electrical and MEP contractors across the EU: a second reader for tender packs that finds the scope a bid is about to miss — and is clear about what it can't do.
Emergency lighting circuits (C4)
Built by engineers who priced the bids.
We are electrical engineers and estimators. For years the job was the same: take a tender pack — drawings, specifications, schedules, the contract — and turn it into a bid before the deadline.
ScopeSense started from a specific failure: a commercial bid that lost its margin after award, because the emergency lighting circuits were never in the scope we priced.
Nobody was careless. The requirement appeared once, on one page of a 300-page tender pack read under deadline. That is not a skills problem. It is a reading problem — volume, time pressure and a requirement mentioned only once.
So we built a second reader for exactly that job. It goes through every page, lists the scope items, and puts the gaps in front of an engineer while there is still time to ask the client.
The expensive item is rarely the one nobody specified. It is the one specified once, on a page nobody had time to read.
Design basis for ScopeSenseRead under deadline, as they always are.
Emergency lighting circuits — specified, but not in scope.
The process failed, not the estimators.
Three circuits in scope. Four specified.
A gap rarely looks like a mistake. It looks like a complete board schedule — until the specification is read against it.

The board schedule looks complete
DB-1 lists lighting, small power and HVAC. Three circuits, all in scope.

The specification asks for more
Section 5.4 requires emergency lighting on a central battery system, fed from DB-1.

ScopeSense flags the gap
C4 is listed as a scope gap with the page it came from, and goes into the RFI report as a question for the client.
What ScopeSense does. What it deliberately doesn't.
A narrow tool can be precise. A broad one has to guess. We chose narrow, and we put the boundary in writing.

Verify every finding against the original tender documents before you submit.
Where your documents live, and how answers are made.
The questions a procurement or IT reviewer asks before a tender pack is uploaded — answered in one place.
Hosted in the EU, in Vienna.
Application servers run at netcup in Vienna, Austria. Every processing location is listed in the DPA.
Every answer points back to the page.
Findings and chat answers cite the document and page they came from, so you check the original — not a summary of it.
