§ 01 THE PROBLEM · EVERY MISSED ITEM IS A CHANGE ORDER

You can't read 200 pages in an afternoon.

40-page bid, 200-page spec, one estimator

You can't catch scope gaps by reading a 40-page bid side by side with a 200-page spec. Not reliably, and not under deadline. Something always slips through — and that something becomes a change order after buyout.

Exclusions buried on the last page

Bidders bury TAB, commissioning, or cleanup on page 14 of a proposal. By the time you catch them, the subcontract is signed and the scope has silently shifted to the GC's budget.

Substitutions that don't meet spec

A bidder proposes Schedule 40 black steel in lieu of Type L copper for chilled water mains. Nobody notices until submittal review — and now the engineer of record is rejecting it mid-construction.

Cost exposure only visible post-award

A single missed scope item averages $15,000+ in change-order cost once markup and schedule impact are priced in. Catching it pre-award costs nothing. Catching it post-award costs the job.

§ 02 WHAT YOU GET · COMPLETE BID-TO-SPEC INTELLIGENCE

Six outputs. Every analysis.

Coverage

Coverage percentage

A single number showing what percentage of spec requirements are addressed in the bid — a fast gauge of bid completeness at a glance.

Line-By-Line

Line-by-line comparison

Every spec requirement mapped against the corresponding bid response. See exactly which items are covered, partially addressed, or missing entirely.

Gap Severity

Critical gap detection

Gaps ranked by severity — high, medium, low — based on cost exposure, schedule impact, and likelihood of change order. Focus on what matters first.

Pricing

Pricing variance analysis

Extracts pricing from the bid and flags line items significantly above or below expected ranges, highlighting potential bid errors or buy-outs.

Exclusions

Exclusion tracking

Every exclusion, qualification, and carve-out in the bid identified and cross-referenced against spec requirements — your true cost exposure, before buyout.

Subs

Substitution flagging

Proposed alternates and material substitutions extracted and compared against specified products, with notes on whether engineer approval is required.

§ 03 HOW IT WORKS · SPEC IN, BID IN, GAPS OUT

Spec in. Bid in. Gaps out.

01

Upload spec and bid

Drop your spec, ITB, or scope of work alongside the vendor's bid. PDF, Word, or Excel — Trueleveler handles every common format.

02

AI cross-references

AI maps each spec section to the corresponding bid response, identifying coverage, gaps, exclusions, pricing variance, and substitutions.

03

Review the gap report

A structured compliance report with coverage %, severity-ranked gaps, pricing deltas, and a prioritized clarification list for the bidder.

04

Export for the record

One-click PDF or Excel export with source-page citations for every gap — ready for bid clarification, buyout review, or owner sign-off.

§ 04 THE IMPACT · WHAT SCOPE CHECK CATCHES BEFORE AWARD

Gaps caught before the subcontract.

$15,000+

Average cost of a single missed scope item discovered after subcontract execution, accounting for change order markup and schedule impact. One Scope Check run pays for a year of the tool.

60-second report

What used to take a full afternoon of cross-referencing a 200-page spec against a 40-page bid now happens in a single upload. Your PM gets the gap sheet today, not next week.

Zero surprises

Every exclusion, substitution, and pricing variance documented pre-award with a source citation. No more post-award change orders you didn't price for.

§ 05 USE CASES · BUILT FOR EVERY SIDE OF THE BID TABLE

§ 06 FAQ · QUESTIONS TEAMS ASK

Questions teams ask us.

Scope Check accepts your spec, ITB, or scope of work alongside a vendor's bid or proposal. PDF, Word, and Excel are supported with no template required. Trueleveler reads both documents as-is and maps every requirement to the response.
You get a coverage percentage, a line-by-line gap report ranked by severity, pricing variance analysis, a full exclusion register, and substitution flags. Every output is exportable and cites the source page in both documents so you can verify fast.
Bid Leveling compares multiple vendors against each other. Scope Check compares one vendor bid against your spec or ITB. Most teams use both: Scope Check to verify each bid is complete, Bid Leveling to pick the winner on normalized true cost.
