@rogerdickey Very interesting - but I'm amazed that you're able to quickly scope projects (5 minutes!) and then also have a 'guaranteed' price. How do you balance that?

@nicolasegosum Hi Nicolas - yes. Let us know where to pick up and we'll start from there.

@mbuckbee We have been training a quoting engine for ~10 months. Sometimes we guess price wrong but it averages out on volume!

@rogerdickey what parameters are you using for your quoting engine? I'd imagine for any AI to work it's got to be actual numbers. The main one I can think of at this point is project hours estimated versus time it actually took.

@rmcastil Yes, estimated vs actual is one of the biggest inputs. A few other tricks but that captures most of it.

@nicolasegosum How much Nicolas? That generally costs $1k for the following work: set up your dev env, test app, review all code, generate detailed report on bugs, optimizations, and potential architecture improvements

@rogerdickey How do you stop the "quote shopping jackpot" problem where the customer shops around until they get a wrong estimate that is too low for the scope. Also what about scope creep?

Roger Dickey@rogerdickey · Founder of Gigster - We make apps!
@nucleics_inc Our sales engineers all use the same quoting engine so thankfully not an issue for us! We absorb minor scope creep, major scope creep is captured as a separate "mini project" in the same source base.

@rogerdickey Love it! I'll definitely use you guys as a reference as I continue to build out DesignCue. It's essentially the same concept applied to design using a team of remote designers!
