Who built this estimate

Derives the roster of everyone who has authored an estimate and maps each one to an employee, resolving every job they ever built — past and future.

What it is

The estimating vendor has no users API, so the roster is derived: every cached estimate carries its author's email, and the distinct set is the roster. Each author can be mapped to one of your employees. 'Built by' is the immutable original author and is never edited; the mapping decides ownership.

Also called: estimator roster · built by · map the estimator to an employee · commission attribution

SmartBuildAuthorsPanel with roster rows, per-author estimate counts, and one row showing a one-click auto-match confirmation. Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1Distinct author emails across cached estimates form the roster, with a count per author.
  2. 2Mapping an author to an employee is one row and resolves every job, past and future.
  3. 3Confirming a map also sets that employee as the owner of all the author's estimates by default; owner stays independently reassignable per estimate.
  4. 4Auto-detect surfaces a one-click confirmation whenever an author's email matches an existing employee.
  5. 5The cross-walk is by email only, never by name.
Why we built it

Nobody could answer who built a given estimate, which makes commission, coaching and 'who do I ask about this one' guesswork across a book of hundreds. Every author is now resolved to an employee and mapped across every job they ever built, past and future. The cross-walk is by email only and never by name, because name-matching corrupts attribution the first time two people share a surname or somebody's account says Mike while their estimates say Michael.

The problem
  • No employee attribution on estimates authored in an external tool
  • Attribution corrupted by name matching

What you get
One mapping resolves an author's whole history
The original author is preserved immutably alongside the current owner
