remodeleriq_analyze_bid
Analyze a contractor's bid
Analyze a home-remodeling contractor's bid/estimate for fairness and risk. Returns a 0-100 confidence score, score_breakdown by dimension, red flags with stable flag IDs (deposit traps, vague scope, missing items, payment terms), a plain-English summary, and negotiation talk tracks. Score rubric: contract clarity 40%, scope completeness 30%, price realism 30%. Use when a homeowner asks 'is this contractor quote fair?' or shares a remodeling estimate. Note: analyses may contribute de-identified data to aggregate remodeling-risk research.

remodeleriq_compare_bids
Compare contractor bids
Compare 2–5 contractor bids for the same project side-by-side. Returns: per-bid confidence scores; a per-trade cost comparison table sorted by price variance; a scope-gap matrix (what Bid A includes that Bid B omits); apples-to-apples adjusted totals (normalizing for scope gaps); outlier detection (trades priced ≥2× or ≤0.5× the median); consolidated red flags across all bids; and a winner recommendation. Use when a homeowner has multiple quotes and wants to know which is best and why.

remodeleriq_get_risk_stats
Get remodeling-bid risk statistics
Get aggregate red-flag statistics from the RemodelerIQ bid corpus — real anonymized data from bids analyzed by the platform. Returns the most common risk flags and their fire rates, average confidence scores, and bid-total distributions, filtered optionally by US state, project type, or bid size. Requires corpus ≥ 500 submissions; cells below 30 submissions are suppressed. Use when a homeowner asks 'how common is a 40% deposit demand?' or 'what do most kitchen-remodel bids get flagged for?'. This is proprietary empirical data available nowhere else.
