Current publication status
There are no invented customer quotes in the library. A service starts showing published examples only after submissions are clear enough to review and anonymize.

Fields collected for each quote
These fields make a quote useful without exposing private details. Month and year are enough for quote date; full addresses are not accepted.
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Service | Project type, such as roof replacement or HVAC repair. |
| State and city | City and state only. Street address is not accepted. |
| Project size | Square feet, system size, tree height, affected area, or another page-specific measurement. |
| Quote total | Total written contractor quote amount before financing, rebates, or insurance reimbursement. |
| Included items | Labor, materials, permits, cleanup, disposal, warranty, inspection, or follow-up visits included in the quote. |
| Excluded items | Known exclusions, open allowances, possible change orders, or items priced separately. |
| Quote date | Month and year are enough. Exact appointment date is not required. |
| Notes | Access, urgency, unusual scope, equipment model, material grade, or other context that explains the total. |
Review workflow
Check that the submission does not include personal contact details, street addresses, payment data, signatures, or contractor identifiers.
Map the quote to the relevant calculator inputs: service type, size, location, scope level, scheduling pressure, included items, and exclusions.
Compare the quote against the visible calculator model, official context sources, public market references, and related examples.
Publish only a short anonymized summary when the scope is clear enough to help another homeowner compare bids.
If a quote changes a page assumption, update the page note or formula review trail rather than silently changing the model.
Privacy rules
- Remove homeowner names, street addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and account numbers before sending.
- Remove contractor names, salesperson names, license numbers, phone numbers, and direct contact details unless the information is already public and necessary for a correction.
- Do not send photos that show house numbers, vehicles, faces, signatures, QR codes, barcodes, or payment information.
- 51828 publishes only anonymized summaries, not raw invoices or documents.
