Wednesday 12 August
Good morning, Cheyne.
One read across the whole business - what's waiting, what's invoiced, what's chasing itself.

Clash
Thursday double-up spotted. Kellett's check measure at 9:00 sits inside the board delivery window at the workshop. Flagged Monday, three days before it bit.
Revenue
Upgrade pattern found. Clients shown the Coastal Oak feature before stone took the upgrade far more often. Suggested: reorder the selections screen. One tap to apply.
Risk
Whitfield is drifting. Nine days in selections. Two more and the install window slips past the school holidays - escalated from a reminder to a call prompt.
It learns your business. Every job, quote and selection it sees makes the next flag sharper - your rules, your margins, your calendar. It notices; you decide.
Live Jobs
Every job, every stage - the wall screen between you and the office. Green is moving, red needs a person, gold is with us.
6 active · 2 need attention
Clear
Harper has no blockers. Stone reserved, board in, hardware confirmed, install locked 14 Sep. Nothing for you to touch - the client's already been told.
Capacity
Drafting runs light Thu-Fri. Nguyen signed today - pulling their drafting forward a week fills the gap and frees install capacity in September. One tap to reschedule.
Slipping
Whitfield: 2 days from a bump. The appliance chase escalates to a call prompt tomorrow. Last time this pattern ran unwatched, a job lost a month.

How it runs: your quote goes out the way it does today - from your Excel, your format, "quoted, not an estimate". The portal keeps the book, the follow-ups run themselves, and anything quiet at day 14 gets flagged with the dollars attached. Accepted → the job lands on the board and selections open - nothing retyped.

Payment Milestones
Your payment schedule sheet, retired - every job's stage and claim in one place, with the patterns it's noticed underneath. Auto-drafting into Xero lands in Phase 2.
$27,370Claims due in 14 days
3 claims across 3 jobs - none missed
6.2 daysAvg time to paid
Down from 11 when claims lagged the stage
$0Claims missed
Every stage tick has a claim against it
Pattern
Same-day claims get paid 3 days faster. When the invoice lands the day the stage ticks over, clients pay quicker. Phase 2 closes that gap automatically - the draft is in Xero before you've left the workshop.
Suggestion
Doyle balance: send it at the walkthrough. You'll be standing in their finished kitchen Friday at 10. Handover invoices sent on the spot have historically been paid same-day.
Watch
Whitfield's claim is 9 days behind its stage. Materials are ready but selections aren't signed, so the claim is held. The reminder engine is protecting this one - it clears the moment they sign.

AI Intelligent Quoting Phase 2 preview
Shown so you can see where this goes - scoped and priced on its own schedule, once the portal's earning its keep. Your quotes stay itemised the CK way; this attacks the turnaround, not the craft.
1 · On site, you talk
“Harper job - 3.6 island, two-pac shaker fronts, forty-mil stone, bulkhead over the fridge, soft-close throughout…”
Voice note from the measure - and it reads the export from your Leica app, so the dims are already there.

2 · It builds the spec
Island · 3600 × 1100 · 40mm stone
Fronts · two-pac shaker · base range +
Fillers · 30mm all walls · your rule
Hardware · soft-close · your library
→
3 · Draft quote, your Excel
Lands in a draft copy of your quoting spreadsheet - master file untouched - itemised line by line the way CK quotes. You check it, you send it. Days become hours.

Follow-up, pre-drafted
The day-7 email sits drafted in your tone, referencing their actual job - “the 3.6m island with the waterfall end we talked about” - with your video linked. You glance, you send. Or let the schedule run it.
Draft total$52,400
Drafts only. It lands in Xero Drafts, you approve, you send. Nothing reaches a client on its own.
What this never does: it doesn't draft your drawings, and it doesn't send anything. The drawing stays yours; the judgment stays yours. And it gets sharper: accuracy scales with history - on our last quoting build, pricing went from thousands off to matching the estimator dollar-for-dollar once it had the full job book to learn from.
