Method: fill rate is modelled as 1 − e^(−k·supply/demand), with k solved from your current numbers. Each additional supplier covers less incremental demand than the last, which is why fill rate saturates rather than scaling linearly.
What you actually get
Six things that are true on the first day, not on the roadmap.
- Verified supply
- Every listing on GeneralBid is checked before it appears. No ghost inventory, no bait pricing.
- Real availability
- Availability is confirmed at the source, so what you see is what you can actually book.
- Protected payments
- Funds are held until the job is confirmed complete. Both sides are covered on every transaction.
- Transparent pricing
- The full price up front, including fees. No quote games and no surprises at checkout.
- Reviews that survive scrutiny
- Only completed, paid transactions can leave a review, and reviews cannot be bought or removed.
- Dispute resolution
- A written process with defined timelines, published openly, applied the same way to everyone.
The problem
A general contractor bidding a job sends invitations to sixty subs, receives eighteen bids by email in eighteen formats, and spends two days levelling them into a comparable spreadsheet to find that half exclude something different.
Bids arrive late, scopes have gaps nobody notices until construction, and a missed exclusion becomes a change order.
Subs meanwhile get blanket invitations for work they would never take.
Who this is for
General contractors and construction managers on projects from 500k to 50m, plus the subcontractors who want to be invited to the right work.
