§ 01 — PROBIS for Consultants

Back every recommendation with more than your own history.

Every client wants cost control in their own template, and every new estimate gets rebuilt by hand instead of coming out of the projects your firm already delivered.

§ 01.5 — From problem to proof

Here's exactly what closes that gap.

✓
Solution

PROBIS makes delivered projects reusable: one cost-control standard across every mandate, estimates and client reports drawn from your own project history, multi-client by design with role-based access.

⚙
AI

AI drafts the next estimate and the next client report from your own delivered projects.

§ 02 — Where it breaks today

Where a recommendation runs out of evidence.

01

The small sample

A recommendation is only as credible as the handful of comparable projects your firm has personally worked.

02

The manual benchmark

Building a defensible cost comparison today means rebuilding it, project by project, from scratch.

03

The reformatting tax

Every client engagement means reformatting the same analysis into a new deck, a new template, a new voice.

04

The one-off deliverable

Every engagement starts from a blank template, even when the underlying analysis is nearly the same.

03

04

Present with evidence

Hand the client a benchmarked recommendation, not just an opinion.

§ 04 — The modules, mapped to your role
