Strategic Innovations · the Contractor crew

Describe the job.
Get the packet that gets you paid.

Twelve coordinated specialists turn a job description into a complete, signed payment-certainty packet — schedule of values, progress billing, prompt-pay discount, signed change-order pricing, lien deadlines, estimate, and SOW — for the small contractors and subs who are priced out of Procore and bleeding cash on slow payments and change orders.

Free to start — 2 packets/day, no card · then $50/mo founding or $79/mo unlimited

One of the specialized crews in Strategic Innovations — digital employees that won't hand you a wrong answer and seal every result with a signed .rain receipt. See the whole platform →

Your twelve-agent back office

One run fires the whole crew and returns a single editable packet — signed into a .rain receipt you can verify later. The money agents lead; the rest protect the job.

Payment

Builds the packet that gets you paid: schedule of values, progress billing, a prompt-pay discount, retainage, signed change-order pricing, and a lien-rights notice.

Deadlines

Tracks the lien and notice windows that protect your right to get paid — preliminary notice, mechanics-lien filing, prompt-pay clocks. A reminder, never legal advice.

Collections

Chases payment for you on an escalating ladder — reminder → past-due → final demand → intent-to-lien — each on a trigger day. Drafts you review before sending.

Change orders

Captures a signed, timestamped change order before the extra work happens. Unsigned changes are the #1 payment dispute; this forces the record first.

Estimator

A complete, math-checked, locally-grounded takeoff. The catalyst gate blocks trivial or wrong estimates before they ever reach you.

Insurance, Daily log & more

COI tracking, an evidentiary job diary, supplier sourcing, scheduling, SOW compliance, and client Q&A — twelve specialists on every packet.

The wedge: from disputed work to collectable revenue

Scope change is the #1 cause of construction disputes — on 38.8% of projects (Arcadis 2024), because the request → approval → execution trail lives in scattered email and text. And 82% of contractors wait 30+ days to get paid (Rabbet 2024). The Payment and Change-order agents write the schedule of values and the signed, timestamped change order; .rain links each step into a tamper-evident chain. That signed record is the exact instrument that converts disputed work into money — not another takeoff tool.

Versus point tools like scopekey.com: they ship features, we ship a signed, auditable outcome with a built-in gate that refuses to surface a wrong or dishonest packet — and we own the whole "get paid" half they don't.

Start free, then one simple monthly price

2 packets/day free — no card. When it's winning you work, go unlimited: $50/mo for the first 20 founding members (locked for life), $79/mo after. Crew-unlimited, no per-seat fees, cancel anytime.

Honest scope — what's real, what isn't yet

Cost numbers are grounded estimates from a national cost book adjusted by region — good for bidding, not a live supplier quote, so every estimate still says "confirm live pricing." You can export to QuickBooks (CSV) and email packets for signature today; deeper two-way QuickBooks sync and a field mobile app are not built yet. What's real now: the twelve-agent payment packet, the deterministic catalyst gate that blocks wrong or dishonest output, and the signed .rain receipt on every packet.
