Estimating early access

Build the next estimate from commercial evidence—not guesswork.

Keystone already has a real evidence, Price Book and estimator foundation. The specialist workflow remains limited, so access is controlled while the product experience catches up with the underlying capability.

Keystone Commercial workspace with Commercial Control, costs and evidence, and Price Book navigation

Actual sample workspace. Customer estimating access may vary while the workflow remains in early access.

What exists—and how it is qualified

The commercial foundation is real. The rollout is deliberately careful.

Commercial evidence must stay traceable, extracted data must be checked and pricing suggestions must never become customer truth without a user decision.

Implemented, limited

Supplier invoice ingestion

Admin users can upload supported supplier invoices, review extracted lines and decide what should teach the commercial record.

Implemented, admin-only

Commercial Evidence, Price Book and Cost Book

Source-linked observations feed an explainable admin commercial view. Manual overrides remain visible and authoritative.

Partially implemented

Assemblies

Reusable assembly knowledge exists, but the workflow remains specialist and is not presented as a polished mainstream experience.

Early access

Estimate suggestions

The estimator read path can rank traceable suggestions without silently changing the quote. Wider customer availability is still controlled.

Commercial guardrails

Helpful suggestions. Human commercial control.

Evidence first

Every derived price should explain the invoices, expenses, quote outcomes or other supported records behind it.

Manual override wins

A price the business has deliberately locked is not silently relearned.

No installer productivity inference

Labour assumptions do not come from subcontractor execution alone.

Quote changes stay explicit

Estimator output is read-only until an authorised user deliberately applies it through the existing quote workflow.

Frequently asked

Clear answers before you join.

Is the Keystone estimator live for every customer?+

No. Supplier-invoice ingestion, reviewed price learning, the Price Book and estimate-assistance code exist, but the specialist estimator workflow remains limited. This public page keeps an early-access waitlist until the experience and deployment are ready for wider use.

What can Keystone use today?+

The implemented commercial evidence layer can normalise supported supplier invoices, job expenses, quote outcomes, variations and reports. Supplier and manufacturer catalogue ingestion is not presented as a live source unless a real source path is configured.

Does invoice extraction automatically change my prices?+

No. Extracted invoice lines and commercial suggestions are reviewable inputs. Source evidence remains traceable, and manual price overrides remain authoritative.

Does Keystone learn labour productivity from installers?+

No. Labour assumptions are only appropriate from manual assemblies, accepted templates, known subcontractor rates or explicit user input. Keystone does not infer labour productivity from subcontractor execution.

Does the estimator replace the quotation workflow?+

No. Estimating suggestions are a read path into the existing quote workflow. A user must review and explicitly apply commercial information; suggestions do not silently mutate a customer quotation.
