The calculator gives you a price. The kit helps you explain and protect it.
Turn the estimate into a client-ready scope that names the outcome, included work, exclusions, revision limit, payment timing, and assumptions behind the price.
The kit is one private HTML workspace with a reusable calculator, scope generator, ready-to-edit revision and payment wording, a quote checklist, and copy/print tools. It runs on your device—no account and no client-data upload.
BriefRate is a planning and communication aid, not a contract, and does not provide legal, tax, or financial advice.
