QuoteChecker.ai / COPE archive
Contractor Cope Archive
Verbatim contractor replies after their quotes were audited with QuoteChecker.ai. Names removed. Behavior intact.
This page is not a debate. It is a record. Every card below started as a real message a contractor chose to send instead of just explaining their own line items.
If asking “What does this include?” or “Why is this $9,800?” produces one of these responses, you don’t have a communication problem. You have data.
What you’re looking at
When homeowners run quotes through QuoteChecker, most contractors respond like adults: clarification, revisions, or a straight answer. A smaller group responds with denial, hostility, or full-blown ego collapse. Those are the ones that end up here.
Each card in the carousel is sourced from
/data/cope-cards.json and includes:
- The contractor’s own words (verbatim, redacted only for identity).
- A short label describing the COPE pattern.
- A one-line “transparency roast” under the quote. That part is ours.
If you recognize the tone because you’ve seen it in your own inbox, you’re not alone. This archive exists so homeowners can see the pattern without being gaslit by it.

Submit a contractor response to the archive
If you ran a quote through QuoteChecker and the reply from the contractor went straight past “professional” and into “what is happening right now,” you can nominate it for the archive.
Typical candidates:
- Attacks on your intelligence for asking basic questions.
- Rants about AI instead of addressing the quote.
- “Real pros don’t itemize. Take it or leave it.”
Not worth submitting:
- Normal negotiation or clarification.
- Secondhand stories you can’t quote directly.
- Anything that names a person or business.
Strip out names, addresses, phone numbers, license numbers, emails, and company names before you send anything. We don’t need them. The behavior is the only part that matters.
The form below is static—no mailto links, popups, or redirects. It posts JSON directly to our moderation queue so we can review and redact before anything is published.
