Wave B · lien clock only
Prelim lien-notice hygiene — not Xactimate, not estimating.
Roofing / exterior: a $29 toothpick checklist for preliminary lien notice fields and clock notes. No photo-to-line-item. No Xactimate clone. Your job OS stays SoR.
1 · What it is
A $29 field checklist — not estimating software.
Prelim notice hygiene for one job. Offer stub. SoftPro-class title SoRs and Xactimate stay out of scope as replacements.
2 · What it does
Flags missing first-furnishing date, parties, and proof log
Paste job / notice notes. The blotter labels clock and party holes. It does not file a lien or mail a notice.
3 · Honest compare · never a SoR replacement
Beside AccuLynx / Xactimate — not instead
| On the desk today | What it already does | Honest limit | RIDGE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xactimate / Hover | Estimating and sketch. Real money work. | Different job. RIDGE is notice fields — not photo-to-line-item. | We do not estimate. We do not clone Xactimate. |
| AccuLynx / job OS | Jobs, photos, production — SoR. | SoR is not a prelim-notice hygiene blotter. | Attach checklist. Do not replace the job OS. |
| RIDGE $29 | Field hygiene · REFUSE on empty / thin / PDF. | Not a filing service. State rules vary. Counsel owns filing. | Suite module beside SettleUp or standalone toothpick. |
5 · Breakable demo · refuse is the feature
Try to break it. The desk should hold.
Empty, thin, and PDF should REFUSE. We do not invent a first-furnishing date or file a notice.
6 · Suite / dual-mode
Module beside SettleUp — or standalone toothpick
RIDGE can attach as a notice-clock module beside Pilot, or stay a $29 pack. Magnet Stripe HOLD. Human owns send.
4 · Pricing · ROI soft-framed
Labeled assumption · not a kill claim
If one missed prelim clock this quarter costs more than $29 in rework or counsel time (example: 0.75h × $50/hr = $37.50), the pack is “paid.” Assumption — not a lien preserved, not a collection result, not a guarantee.
