vendor quote extraction - my pricing education moment 🙏

quoted $700 thinking "quotes are simple documents"

reality: vendor quotes wildly inconsistent formats. different layouts, structures, term locations.

took 9 hours building extraction handling all variations. made $77/hour when i expected 2-3 hours easy work.

THE LESSON:

document type consistency doesn't mean format consistency. all vendor quotes but zero standard format.

THE TURNAROUND:

same workflow deployed to 5 clients at $2,000+ each. 45 minute deployments.

first painful build: lost $1,300

template deployments: earned $10,000+

reusable templates turn pricing mistakes into profit.
