Cost Forecaster — SKILL.md

Forked from NextAutomation Cost Forecaster v1.0 Adapted for BidDeed.AI (rehab budgets) and ZoneWise.AI (renovation ROI)

What It Does

Predicts total rehab cost for Brevard County residential properties. Takes a budget + optional spend log → returns forecast, overrun alerts, and best/base/worst scenarios with max bid recalculation.

6-Stage Pipeline

BUDGET → VELOCITY → HISTORY → FORECAST → ALERTS → SCENARIOS

Three Budget Templates

Template	Budget Range	Use Case
`light_rehab`	$15-40K	Cosmetic flip — paint, flooring, fixtures
`medium_rehab`	$40-100K	Systems + cosmetic — roof, HVAC, plumbing, kitchen
`heavy_rehab`	$100-250K	Full gut — structural + everything

Integration

System	Direction	Data
Enricher pipeline	← receives	ARV, assessed value, permits, parcel data
BidDeed.AI auctions	← feeds into	Repair estimates for max bid formula
ZoneWise.AI leads	→ feeds into	Renovation ROI for off-market analysis
Supabase `rehab_projects`	↔ persist	Project budgets and forecasts
Supabase `rehab_spend_log`	↔ persist	Expense tracking per project
AUTOLOOP eval	← tested by	25 binary assertions

TODO

Create Supabase tables (rehab_projects, rehab_spend_log)
--save flag to persist forecasts
update-spend subcommand for expense logging
Wire historical query with actual repair cost data
Enricher integration (accept enricher JSON as input)
DOCX report with budget vs actual
Weekly Telegram digest for active projects
Material price tracking (lumber, concrete in FL)
