Why it works

The Bloomberg Terminal model — for trades.

The data is useful because contractors feed it. Contractors feed it because the data is useful. The more participate, the better the comps get. Better comps bring more contractors.

Every bid you've ever lost is data you threw away. Submit it here and it becomes intelligence — for you, and for the contractors who submit after you.

No subscription. No pitch. Submit once and see what you get back.

FAQ

The questions contractors ask first.

How is my identity protected?
Every submission is reviewed by a human, PII is stripped, and you're assigned a cooperative alias. Your company name, email, and bid PDF stay internal. Other contributors see structural data only — project type, territory, bid bucket, spread from winner.
Why submit a losing bid?
Because it's worth more here than in your trash. A bid you lost becomes a comp another contractor uses to bid smarter. Their next loss becomes your next comp. The data only works because everyone feeds it.
What does a credit unlock?
1 credit = 5 anonymized comps from contractors who bid similar jobs in your territory. 10 credits = full win-rate benchmarks for your county + trade. 50 credits = 30-day trial of the Tradestimator.
Why isn't this just a paid subscription?
Paid subscriptions create freeloaders — contractors who pull comps without contributing. The credit model forces reciprocity. The contributors get the intel. Subscription seats would dilute the dataset.
What if my submission is rejected?
Rejection happens if the bid can't be verified or PII can't be cleanly stripped. We'll email you with the reason and let you resubmit. Approved submissions earn 1 credit each.
Who runs Anvilbid Comps?
Anvilbid — a contractor-owned data platform. The cooperative funds the larger Anvilbid stack (Bid Tracker + the never-before-seen Bid Builder). No outside investors steering the data.

Stop throwing losses in the trash.
