Managed decision intelligence for owner-led contractors
Know what needs your attention before Monday’s first meeting.
Weekgrade turns the reports you already have into a verified Monday Brief, a 30‑minute Monday meeting, and a short list of actions with owners and dates. A human analyst prepares it and works alongside your controller or CFO, every week.
No payment for the call. We review your reporting stack and tell you whether your systems can support a reconciliation worth paying for. No files needed. If it is a fit, the Ten‑Job Margin Reconciliation with your first Monday Brief is $2,500 once, with $1,000 credited against your first month.
Labor hours are 13% over estimate and two change orders totaling $41,600 are unsigned. Projected margin falls from 28.4% to 24.9% if nothing changes.

Why it is different
Dashboards show you data. Weekgrade shows you what deserves attention.
Weekgrade sits between the systems you own and the people who advise you. Your systems report on themselves; the margin you lose lives between them. Weekgrade reconciles them every week and comes back with what to do on Monday.
How Weekgrade works
From scattered data to weekly, guided action.
Seven steps, the same every week. Nothing replaces the systems you run today.
On the roadmap, not in the offer today: a 13‑week cash and revenue outlook, and peer benchmarks with consent.
See it in action
How Weekgrade reaches a condition, not just a number.
Three signals from three different systems. Reconciled, they say one thing: margin is at risk, and here is what to do about it this week.
Project 1207 · Riverside office build
Condition: margin at riskLabor is running ahead of the estimate on work that has not been approved for billing. Margin is already gone; it has not been reported yet.
- Review the labor productivity plan for 1207
- Sign or reject the two open change orders
- Hold overtime on 1207 until the change orders are signed
Next Monday the brief reports whether each action happened and what the margin did.
Try it on your own numbers
Send one report for a free Instant Weekgrade Preview.
Start by telling us which system your report comes from. We reply with a mutual NDA and a private upload link — no file leaves your systems before that, and please do not email one. Within 48 hours of the upload you get three to five figures calculated from that export, each with its formula, and a plain note on what a single source can and cannot tell you. It is unverified by design: one source, not reconciled, and we attach no recommendation to it.
The Weekgrade Twelve
The twelve operating conditions Weekgrade checks every Monday.
Each has a written formula, a source system, a validation rule, and an exception threshold. During onboarding we confirm which definitions fit your business and document any approved variation, then hold them steady so the trend means something.
The Monday meeting
Your Weekgrade is prepared before the meeting. The 30 minutes are for decisions, not reporting.
- 10 minPriorities from the briefConfirm, reassign, or reject each one.
- 10 minAction queueLast week’s actions, their status, and what the outcome ledger shows.
- 5 minWatchlistWhat is trending toward a problem.
- 5 minDecisionsRecorded with the rationale, so the reasoning survives the month.

Your dedicated analyst
Your Weekgrade analyst learns your systems, your KPI definitions, and how you run the business, prepares every brief, and reviews the exceptions software cannot judge.
Credit stays with your team
Your controller confirms the source definitions and the disposition of every exception, and their name goes on the brief beside ours. Your Weekgrade analyst signs it. That signature is half of what verified means here — the other half is the tie‑out across sources — and it is the one part we do not hand over.
We work alongside your CFO
Your finance team keeps the books and the close. Weekgrade covers jobs, labor, backlog, and execution across every system, and hands your CFO cleaner numbers.
Pricing
Start with the reconciliation. Continue only if the first brief earns it.
No recurring‑service commitment before you have seen Weekgrade working on your own numbers. The reconciliation stands on its own — you keep the working file and the procedure either way — and $1,000 of it is credited against your first month if you continue.
- Up to ten closed jobs from the last twelve months, in one legal entity, chosen with you
- Reconciled across three independently maintained sources: job cost detail, your general ledger detail for job cost and revenue, and payroll summarized by job
- Every job‑level variance above a threshold we agree first, with the amount and how it was resolved
- The reconciled final margin on each of the ten, ranked, and the labor, billing, change‑order and cost‑coding variances sitting behind the weakest. If all ten made money, that is the finding and we say so
- The reconciliation workbook and the written procedure, plus one 45‑minute handoff so your controller can re‑run it
- One Monday Brief built from your own numbers, with the rung shown on every line
- Verified Monday Brief every week, with the validation status on every page
- 30‑minute Monday meeting every week, prepared by your analyst, who facilitates the first four and stays on call after that
- Action queue, decision ledger, and outcome ledger
- Up to four data sources; upload‑first, connectors when they earn it
- Quarterly value review in your own numbers: actions completed, exposure found, cash accelerated, hours saved, and what is still open
Founding design partners: three openings. A reduced 90‑day rate for three owner‑led contractors willing to help refine the Twelve and the Monday Brief workflow, with the standard rate locked for twelve months after that. Logo, testimonial, and case‑study rights are never assumed.
Security and trust
Your numbers are sensitive. The process is built around that.
Trust comes from how the work is done, not from a badge. Every control below is documented and available on request.
How every number is labelled
Three rungs. Every line on every brief carries one.
You should never have to guess how much weight a number can hold. The label sets what we are allowed to say about it, and we do not move a number up a rung to make a brief read better.
Calculated
Arithmetic on figures you gave us, shown with the formula. It makes no claim that the underlying figures are right.
Unverified
One source, not reconciled against anything else. We will report it, and we will attach no recommendation to it.
Verified
The same fact tied out across independently maintained sources, every exception resolved or disclosed, and signed by your named analyst.

Next step
Know what needs your attention before the week begins.
Start with a 25‑minute fit call. If the reconciliation makes sense, you get up to ten closed jobs reconciled across three independently maintained systems, the workbook and the procedure, and one Monday Brief built from your own numbers, whether or not you continue.
No payment for the call. If it is a fit: $2,500 once for the Ten‑Job Margin Reconciliation and your first Monday Brief, $1,000 of it credited against your first month. Miss the delivery date and the full $2,500 is refunded.
