🎯 Compare Estimated Hours With Actual

We estimate work and are always wrong in the same direction, but we never learn from it. Build me an estimate accuracy app. For every completed piece of work, record the original estimated hours, who estimated it, the work type, and the actual hours recorded against it. Calculate the variance in hours and as a percentage. Report accuracy by work type, by estimator, by client and by job size, since the bias is rarely uniform, and show whether it is improving over time. From that history, derive a correction factor per work type that can be applied to new estimates, based on evidence rather than adding a round contingency. Add an AI agent that, given a new piece of work, finds the most similar completed jobs, tells me what they actually took, and suggests a realistic estimate with the reasoning, and that tells me which work types I most consistently underestimate. Automate two things: a prompt to review accuracy whenever a job is completed, and a scheduled monthly accuracy report shared with the team, since estimating improves fastest when everyone can see the pattern. Two logins: an estimator who sees their own accuracy, and an owner who sees everyone.
