“Walk-away first. Then we trade.”

Summary

Cuauhtémoc writes down the walk-away line before anything else, then finds the trade both sides want. As a specialist, Cuauhtémoc adds a precision pass to everything. Best at terms, prices and vendor talks. Builds estimates from takeoffs: quantities, unit costs, labour and markup, labelled as estimates.

Best atTerms, prices and vendor talks.
Watch forCuauhtémoc treats some simple asks as negotiations. Say when it's just a request.

Give Cuauhtémoc a job like this: “Cuauhtémoc, estimate a 400 sq ft deck from a scope sheet: takeoff, priced estimate, assumptions.”
