Use Case · Subcontractor Performance

Bid the right sub.
Skip the one
that always slips.

Most GCs re-bid the same subs to the same problems. The agent maintains a live performance database, schedule adherence, RFI volume, defect rate, claim history, payment timeliness, and scores subs on every new bid package.

The pinch point

Sub re-bid problem.

Performance DB across schedule, quality, claims, payments. This is the work that doesn’t scale, and the work the Human Emulator owns end-to-end.

Without Ruh

Pre-qual blind spots. Owner risk.

With Ruh AI

Live scoring on every incoming bid invitation. Surfacing the slip-prone sub before they're on contract.

How it works

Four stages. One Human Emulator.

Sequential stages that run inside your existing tools.

01

COLLECT

Performance signal collection

Pulls schedule adherence from project plans, RFI volume from Procore, defect/punch counts, claim and back-charge history from project records, and payment timeliness from AP.

5 signal streams · 84 subs · 4 years of bid + performance data
02

SCORE

Per-sub performance scoring

Weights each signal by trade, project type, and region. Builds a per-sub profile and a per-trade leaderboard. Flags subs that recently changed (key personnel, ownership, lien filings).

EL-1: A-grade · EL-3: watch (3 recent claims) · MX: pre-qual due
03

BID-RECOMMEND

Bid package fit recommendation

When a new bid package goes out, the agent recommends which subs to invite, who to deprioritize, and what to ask in pre-qual for any new entrants. Reasoning attached.

RFP scope: foundation · top 6 subs ranked · 1 flagged for re-qual
04

MONITOR

Ongoing risk monitoring

Once a sub is on contract, monitors leading indicators, RFI surge, payment escalations, schedule slip on adjacent jobs, lien filings. Surfaces to PM before it becomes a claim.

EL-2: RFI surge 6→14/wk · escalate to PM · before payment app due
