Scope budget fit checker
Use this before you start requesting quotes or when you keep seeing totals above your comfort zone. It helps you check whether the scope you want and the budget you expect are actually compatible.
Fit summary
Fair fit
Needs adjustment
Your budget and your expected scope may still work together, but only if the quote details stay clean and the hidden extras are limited.
Best next move
Either tighten the scope or widen the budget range a little before treating low-looking quotes as real options.
What to do next
Use this before you blame the market for every high quote. Often the easier win is to narrow the scope, adjust the timing, or change which extras really matter.
