The Answer

Here's how to close that very gap.

Reusable Project Experience

PROBIS makes completed projects reusable: a cost-control standard for all engagements, cost estimates, and client reports based on your own project history, designed from the ground up to be multi-client capable with role-based access.

→
AI Designs

The AI generates the next cost estimate and the next client report based on your own completed projects.

Where the problem lies today

Give every recommendation a stronger financial foundation.

Every customer wants cost control in their own template, and every new cost estimate is created from scratch by hand.

The Small Sample
A handful

A recommendation is only as credible as the handful of comparable projects your firm has managed itself.

The Manual Benchmark
Rebuilt by hand

These days, a reliable cost comparison means creating it from scratch, project by project.

The effort involved in reformatting
New Template

Every client project involves reformatting the same analysis into a new presentation, a new template, and a new tone.

The One-Time Result
At zero

Every project starts with a blank template, even if the underlying analysis is nearly the same.
