Help us shape Prismiq into the estimating tool you actually want

You're one of a small group testing this before launch. Your eyes catch what ours miss. Take 20 minutes, poke around, and let us know what you find — the quick wins, the rough edges, the bits that surprised you.

1 What is Prismiq?

Estimating software for capital projects — buildings, civil works, oil & gas, petrochemicals, mining, power, and similar. It helps estimators and quantity surveyors put together cost estimates faster, with AI-assisted scope analysis and probabilistic Monte Carlo cost ranges.

It's currently in beta. We're sharing it with a small group of testers (including you) to find what's broken, what's confusing, and what's missing before a wider launch.

2 Get started in three steps

  1. Go to tryprismiq.com
  2. Click Sign Up with your real email — you'll need to verify it
  3. Set up your workspace (name, industry, currency) and you're in

About the verification email: we send it instantly. If it doesn't arrive within a minute, check spam or use the "Resend" button on the verify page.

Heads up: this is beta software. You might see odd behaviour — that's expected, that's why we need you. Just note what happened and tell us below.

3 Pick what to test

Don't feel you need to do all of these. Pick what's interesting. The more you use Prismiq the way you'd use it for real, the better the feedback. Tap each one as you go — your progress is saved on this device.

A · Quick AI-assisted estimate
Click "New Estimate" → AI flow. Paste a project description (real or made up). Watch what scope items the AI suggests. Pick a class (1-5), confirm parameters, and run the analysis. If you've added historical projects, a "From your project history" panel will appear with similar past projects as benchmarks.
B · Full manual estimate
Click "New Estimate""Build Manually". Walk through all five wizard stages: project metadata, line items, BoE assumptions, contingency, results. Add at least 5-10 line items so the Monte Carlo simulation has something to work with.
C · Customise your workspace
Open Settings → Workspace. Scroll to the categories list. Rename, delete, add, or reorder categories so they match how you actually break down work. Save it. Then start a new estimate — your category list should appear in the line-item editor.
D · Set your defaults
Open Settings → Estimate Defaults. Set a default escalation rate (3-5% for stable economies, 8-15% for high-inflation regions like Nigeria, Argentina, Turkey) and pick a default class. Save. Start a new estimate — your defaults should pre-fill.
E · Export and share
After completing an estimate, try the export options. Export to PDF, Excel, and (if you're on a paid plan) Word. Open each file. Does it look professional? Would you send it to a client?
F · Add a historical project NEW
Open Database Manager → Historical Projects. Add a sealed record of a project you've completed — actual cost, scope, breakdown. Use "Add manually" (fastest) or "Upload Excel" (drop a workbook with "Project" + "Line Items" sheets — the parser is forgiving). Then start a new estimate in that industry — you'll see a "From your project history" panel with your project as a benchmark.

Especially curious about Scenario F — does the upload format match how you actually keep historical project data? Anything missing? This is brand new and your input shapes v2.

4 What to notice

🐛 Anything that breaks

Pages that don't load, buttons that don't work, things that crash, error messages, anything where the app says one thing and does another.

🤔 Anything that's confusing

If you have to think for more than a few seconds about what a button does or where to find something — that's confusing. Note it. Even if you eventually figured it out, the next user might not.

🎨 Things that look weird

Misaligned text, overlapping elements, weird colors, bad spacing, things that don't fit on your phone. Take a screenshot if you can.

🔢 Numbers that look wrong

If totals don't add up, currency symbols look wrong (e.g. seeing $ when you set NGN), percentages seem off, or anything else math-y feels off — please tell us. These are the bugs that hurt most in production.

💭 Things you wished it could do

Feature gaps you noticed. Workflows that felt clunky. Things you'd want before you'd actually pay for this.

5 Tell us what you found

Send feedback right here — no email app needed. We read every report personally, usually within a day.

A title that names the problem in one line.
Even a few sentences are useful. Don't worry about being polished.

What good feedback looks like

Don't worry about being polished. The two examples below show what's most useful versus what's harder to act on.

✓ More helpful

"I tried to upload my company rates as Excel in Database Manager → Bulk Upload. It said 'Payload too large' even though the file is only 2 MB. Tried twice in Chrome on Windows 11."

✗ Harder to act on

"Upload doesn't work."

The first tells us where, what, what should have happened, and what did happen. We can usually reproduce and fix it within a day. The second — we don't know if you mean avatars, rates, logos, or something else.

6 Things people ask

Is the data I enter real or test data?

It's real in the sense that it's stored, but the database is separate from any production tenant — you're in a beta workspace. We may need to wipe data periodically. Don't put anything you can't afford to lose.

Will I be charged?

No. The Free plan is genuinely free, and beta testers won't be billed for anything. If you decide to test the upgrade flow, we'll refund anything that gets charged.

How long does the beta last?

Open-ended. We might invite more people, change pricing, or sunset features as we learn. We'll email you if anything significant changes.

Who else is testing this?

A small group — currently other estimators, contractors, and quantity surveyors. We're keeping the cohort small on purpose so everyone's feedback gets weight.

Can I share Prismiq with a colleague?

Not yet — please don't. We're in invite-only beta. If you have someone in mind who'd be a great tester, email us their name and we'll consider sending them an invite.

What's "AACE classification"?

An industry-standard system from the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering. Class 1 estimates are the most detailed (used for final budgets and bid documents); Class 5 are the roughest (used for early-stage screening). Prismiq adapts its output method based on which class you pick. You don't need to be an AACE expert — just pick the class that fits how complete your project information is right now.
