Turn a Project Brief Into a Defensible Estimate
Keisan turns a plain-English brief into an itemized cost and timeline estimate, with editable rate cards, scenario ranges, and margin built in. Export a client-ready proposal in minutes instead of days.
Powerful Features
Brief to Itemized Estimate
Describe the project and Keisan breaks it into line items with role, hours, and rate. You get a structured, defensible estimate you can stand behind in front of a client.
- Line items by role and task
- Hours and rates per item
- Defensible, itemized totals
- Generated from a plain-English brief
Editable Rate Cards
Define your roles and rates once and reuse them across every estimate. Keisan computes a blended rate and keeps your numbers consistent from project to project.
- Custom roles and rates
- Blended rate calculation
- Reusable across projects
- Consistent pricing every time
Scenario Modeling
Model optimistic, likely, and pessimistic scenarios with cost and timeline ranges. Set client expectations with honest spreads instead of a single fragile number.
- Optimistic, likely, pessimistic
- Cost and timeline ranges
- Cost-by-role breakdown
- Set realistic expectations
Margin and Proposal Export
Layer in margin to see real profitability, then export a polished, client-ready proposal as a PDF. Save everything to projects so your history is always one click away.
- Margin and profitability calc
- Client-ready proposal and PDF export
- Projects and saved history
- Cost-by-role visibility
