Customers, properties, jobs

A quote sits on a job. The job sits on a property.

Named SKUs

Restoration work: water, mold, fire. There is no plumber book and no HVAC book in this beta.

Rate book

Overlay prices on the shared catalog. A missing SKU is a Support request in this beta.

Why this exists

Unit-priced work needs a number you can stand behind.

Most of those numbers are a guess, a copied competitor, or a list you cannot audit. A number without a basis is not a price.

The spec is how a price should be built. The beta shop writes restoration quotes on named SKUs.

The principles

These are the standard, not a description of the beta shop.

01

Market-derived, not hand‑set

Public market data sets the cost floor — wages, materials, equipment when they apply. The methodology is public. Anyone can audit why a number is what it is.

02

Show your work

Every non-zero price carries a basis. Sources, hours, markup — visible. A number without a basis is not a price.

03

Standard SKUs for standard work

Name the work, unitize it, reuse it. Same work, same SKU.

04

You set markup; public data sets the cost floor

The market inputs are shared. Your margin is yours, and it is disclosed. Hide neither the cost nor the markup.

What OpenData is

Named SKUs for the work you sell. Prices from public market data, the markup you disclose, and a basis on every number. Tax is a separate layer from price. The brand is OpenData; the spec line is still odapm/v1.

SKUs

Name the work you sell. Named, unitized, reusable SKUs. Same work, same SKU.

Pricing

Public data, your markup, a basis. Market inputs set the cost floor. You set markup and disclose it. Every non-zero price carries a basis you can audit.

Tax

Tax is a separate layer from price.

Where it is now

The spec is odapm/v1. The hosted shop is the beta above. The manifesto and the spec stay on GitHub.

Owned by no one

The OpenData standard is free, open, and owned by no one. Tools are MIT; spec and data are CC-BY-4.0. Shops earn on the work. The standard belongs to the field.
