The MAGE brain
Every duration, price, leak flag and verdict goes into a ledger the moment it's made. When the job closes, MAGE grades itself against what actually happened. The misses stay on the board — that's the only thing that makes the hits worth anything.
The loop nobody else closes
It hands you a number, you build the job, and nobody goes back to check. The next estimate is exactly as blind as the last one. MAGE closes that loop — on your jobs, in your numbers.
Framing takes 6 days. This estimate totals $42,000. Four items on this job are leaking money. Each call is recorded when it's made, not reconstructed afterwards from a generous memory.
Framing actually took 6. The job closed at $42,840. Three of the four flagged items got billed back and one got eaten. When the job closes, the real outcome lands next to the prediction.
Every resolved call gets scored — a duration inside a day is a hit, an estimate inside 3% is a hit, a leak nobody billed back is a miss. Nothing is graded on vibes, and nothing quietly disappears because it went badly.
Your track record
Any vendor can put a percentage on a slide. This is the itemized list behind it — what was predicted, what actually happened, and what that made it.
Earned autonomy
Plenty of software will happily automate your business on day one, on the strength of a demo. MAGE won't touch a thing until it has proved itself on your jobs — and the thresholds aren't a secret.
MAGE won't pre-fill task durations for a trade until its learned pace has matched or beaten the generic AI call on at least five graded predictions for that trade, at 60% or better. Per trade — earning it on framing says nothing about tile.
It won't draft change orders on its own until at least half the profit-leak items it flagged were actually billed back, across at least five graded scans. If your flags aren't converting, it stays quiet and leaves the call to you.
Any prediction type with fewer than three graded results is suppressed entirely, and tracked-bid calibration needs five. A hit rate off one or two jobs isn't a hit rate, and rounding it up to look clever would poison every other number on the board.
Why the grading matters
Once MAGE knows what work actually costs you, that's what goes on the next bid. Drop in a plan set and every priced line says where its number came from — so a guess can't sit next to a real number and look identical.
Ask your software how often it's wrong. Then ask why it can't tell you.
Straight answers
It records each prediction when it's made, then compares it to the real outcome once the job closes — durations against actual task spans, estimate totals against actual cost, leak flags against whether the item was actually billed back, bid odds against whether you won. Each one is marked hit, miss or tie.
Then it shows you almost nothing, on purpose. Categories under three graded results are suppressed, and the autonomy features above stay switched off until their thresholds are met. It shows more as your history accumulates; in the first few weeks it tells you it is still early.
They can copy the screens in a quarter. They can't copy fifty of your finished jobs. The scoreboard and the pricing both run on your own outcomes, which is the one input a rival can't ship in a release.
Not unless you switch it on. Contributing to the public Price Index is opt-in and off by default, and nothing is published yet: it opens only once rates are computed on our servers from logged job costs, so no one's price can be worked out from it — never your rates, your name or your jobs.
