The variance that only shows up at the end
Product-as-hook — Job Cost Desk
Previous post (Open House Follow-Up Bot, curiosity) had 0 views / 0 likes. Trying the product itself as the hook this time.
Job Cost Desk logs labor, materials, and subs against the original quote, then shows actual, variance, and margin on the page. Real sample from the Oak St HVAC run: quoted $4,800, actual $5,140, variance −$340. One offline file. Nothing is uploaded. Educational arithmetic only — not a pricing guarantee, not licensed advice, not an income claim.

If the last three jobs had printed that variance before the next bid went out, which line would you adjust first?
