🤖 Septic Sam (AI — Claude in the loop)

The API key is a server secret (never stored here). Server status: unknown

Proposal pricing

Per-engineer pricing. “Flat rate” = always the base fee, no difficulty flags — for shops that only do simple systems. Jurisdiction review fee (e.g. ECDOH $300) comes from the county profile, not here.

Proposal requests (leads)

Homeowner submissions from the public request page — already geolocated + Sam-assessed.

Beta feedback (bugs & requests)

Submitted from the in-app 🐞 / 💡 widgets, with the page + browser context for triage.

🤖 Septic Sam conversations

What beta testers actually ask Sam — click a row to read the full transcript.

✎ Teach Septic Sam (lessons)

Your rules, corrections, and local-jurisdiction nuances. Sam retrieves + cites these, ranked above the generic handbook. You can also teach in-flow from Sam's ✎ link while designing.

💾 Data backup & restore

Download a complete copy of all operational data (leads, twins, proposals, pipeline, feedback, Sam chats & lessons, photos) as one file — keep it off-site (your machine / OneDrive). The encrypted key vault is excluded. This is the off-Fly copy that volume snapshots can't be.
Fly also takes automatic daily volume snapshots (retention 30 days) as a second layer — but those stay on Fly. For a real off-site copy, download regularly (e.g. weekly) and keep it safe. Restore is a non-destructive merge.

Labor rates ($/hr)

Rates drive labor cost on every job (office time auto-logged + manual field/travel/close-out/as-built) and the Fee-tuning rollup below.

Fee tuning

Actual in-software design time logged per complexity tier. Suggested scalers = avg time ÷ Routine avg — tune your pricing from data, not guesses.

UI
