How It Works Trades Pricing

Built for the trade that pays your bills.

Skopos generates trade-specific scopes using the language, terminology, and format your clients and adjusters expect to see. Not generic AI output — real contractor language for your trade.

Every trade has its own vocabulary, its own standard exclusions, and its own format. Skopos knows the difference — and generates scopes that sound like a real estimator from your trade wrote them.
