Stop scoping deals in spreadsheets.
JungleOS Scope is a guided estimation engine purpose-built for boutique consulting firms — with deep tuning for Systems Integrators. Turn a 10-minute interview into a defensible, margin-aware proposal.
Your spreadsheet isn’t free.
It’s just unbilled.
Every estimate built by hand is consultant time that isn’t on a client invoice. The “free” tool costs more than any subscription — it just hides the cost. Drag the sliders to see what it’s costing your practice this year.
A senior consultant’s hour is the most expensive resource in your practice.
Industry benchmarks put a single detailed scoping exercise at 4 to 8 hours of senior consultant time. Multiply by the deals you scope each month — most of which you don’t win — and the unbilled hours add up fast.
Boutique consulting firms are scoping deals in spreadsheets — and it shows.

It’s worse than slow.
Time is the easy problem. The harder ones — the ones that lose deals, erode margin, and chip away at your credibility with clients — are baked into the spreadsheet itself.
You can’t explain how the number got there.
A client asks why this engagement is $256k. The answer is buried five formulas deep across three tabs, written by a consultant who left two years ago. Every estimate becomes its own forensic exercise.
Formulas break and you don’t know.
A row gets inserted, a reference shifts, a cell gets pasted over with a hardcoded value. The total still looks plausible. You ship the proposal. The error only surfaces three weeks into delivery — if you’re lucky.
Same deal, different numbers from everyone.
Two people scope the same client and quote 20% apart. Whose math is right? Nobody can tell, because each template has drifted in its own direction over the years. The client notices the spread before you do.
Open to “adjusting” until the number looks right.
The blended margin comes in low. Someone bumps a complexity multiplier here, trims a few hours there, until it reads 38% — without a record of what changed or why. The model has become whatever the answer needed to be.
Which copy ships?
estimate_v3_FINAL_revised_v2.xlsx lives in someone’s downloads folder. The consultant edits a different copy on their laptop. The version in Drive is two days stale. The client sees one of them.
Proposals go out without a second pair of eyes.
There’s no review state, no required sign-off, no record of who approved what. A junior on a Friday afternoon can attach a half-finished workbook to a client email — and frequently does.
Running scenarios is a copy-paste safari.
“What does this look like with offshore at 30% versus 50%?” Clone the workbook. Hope nothing breaks. Try not to mix up the copies. Do it again for two more scenarios. By the time the client asks the next question, you’re rebuilding from scratch.
JungleOS Scope versions, duplicates, and forks estimates as a first-class operation — run multiple scenarios without rebuilding the spreadsheet each time.
Every existing tool is the wrong fit.
This is an industry-wide problem. Boutique SI firms — regardless of methodology, vertical, or platform — keep running into the same three dead ends.
Salesforce CPQ / Revenue Cloud
Bolts onto the Salesforce ecosystem. Useful only if your clients are already there — and it requires its own complex implementation to configure.
PSA platforms (Certinia, Kantata, Replicon)
Full professional-services-automation suites. Months to implement, priced for enterprise, and far more surface area than you need for estimation alone.
Acquired & shuttered
Zimit — the closest fit on the market — was acquired by Workday in 2021 and closed to outside customers. Everyone else has been left back in spreadsheets.
Thousands of boutique SI firms run competitive proposals every week in spreadsheets they built three years ago — because nothing else fits.
A 10-minute interview.
A complete, defensible proposal.
Answer a guided questionnaire
Conditional logic surfaces only the questions that matter for this deal. Project type, scope, methodology, integrations, geography, timeline — answers drive scope automatically. No blank spreadsheet to fill.
The engine does the math
Hours by role × phase, calendar timeline with go-live constraints, offshore split, cost, blended margin, and price — all calculated deterministically. Same inputs always produce the same output.
Send a client-ready proposal
One click produces a formatted DOCX proposal and an XLSX workbook with hours, timeline, resource grid, and price. Change the scope, regenerate — no re-keying into Word or a spreadsheet.
Everything scoping requires.
Nothing it doesn’t.
Six tightly-scoped capabilities. Each one replaces a tab, a template, or a tribal-knowledge habit in your current spreadsheet workflow.
Deterministic estimation engine
Scope hierarchy, role allocation, offshore split, multi-phase timeline, testing routing, integration sizing, and passthrough costs — all expressed as transparent rules. The same inputs always produce the same output.
Guided questionnaire
Conditional logic. Scope populates automatically — no manual selection of 200 line items.
Margin-aware pricing
Blended margin across skill tiers in real time. No hidden formulas, no forgotten cells.
Resource planning built in
Hours by role × phase with offshore split. Resource planning starts with the estimate.
One-click DOCX + XLSX
Client-ready proposal and full workbook, always from the current data model.
Configured for your practice
Project types, question sets, skill catalog, rate cards, testing phases, integration complexity — all yours, all editable.
The same deal.
A very different experience.
| Before — Spreadsheets | After — JungleOS Scope | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to estimate | 4 – 8 hours of manual work | 15 – 30 minutes, guided interview |
| Consistency | Each consultant has their own template and math | Deterministic engine — one source of truth |
| Margin visibility | Buried in nested formulas; errors common | Real-time on the deal homepage, always in sync |
| Scope changes | Rebuild the spreadsheet from scratch | Override in place, re-run math in seconds |
| Proposal output | Manual copy-paste into Word; updates missed | One-click DOCX / XLSX from current data |
| Resource planning | Separate spreadsheet, done after the deal closes | Resource grid generated alongside the estimate |

Boutique consulting firms
with a Systems Integrator lean.
If your team runs competitive proposals every week, scopes engagements in spreadsheets, and lives or dies on margin discipline — this is for you. The engine is methodology-agnostic; we’ve tuned it deeply for the patterns SI firms run into.
Anything we haven’t covered?
My spreadsheet works fine. Why pay for this?+
Your spreadsheet isn’t free — it just doesn’t show up as a line item. A senior consultant spending 4–8 hours per estimate, on a dozen estimates a month, is the most expensive unbilled cost in most boutique practices. The calculator at the top of this page lets you put real numbers against it.
Beyond cost: every consultant builds their own template, the math drifts, errors compound silently, and resource planning happens twice. JungleOS Scope replaces all of that with one deterministic engine your whole team works from.
What practice areas does it support?+
The engine is methodology-agnostic with deep tuning for Systems Integrators. Question sets, scope hierarchy, skill catalog, rate cards, testing phases, and integration complexity are all configured per practice area — so it fits your specific consulting motion, whatever platforms or methodologies you implement.
Do I need to implement anything to get started?+
No. It’s SaaS — create an account, set up your organization, and configure your practice area through the admin UI. No professional-services engagement required.
How is the pricing structured? Will it go up later?+
Plans are flat monthly subscriptions. The only difference between tiers is user count and support level — every plan includes the full engine, full admin, and full export.
Subscribe when you’re ready through secure card checkout in billing settings. Add seats anytime as your team grows.
Is there AI in here?+
AI-assisted features are coming soon and will roll out to all tiers. Today, the value is the deterministic engine — same inputs, same output, every time. AI helpers (draft scope from a meeting transcript, summarize estimates, flag pricing anomalies) layer on top without replacing the math.
What does the export actually look like?+
A formatted DOCX proposal and an XLSX workbook, both generated from the same data model. The DOCX covers hours by role and phase, timeline, and price summary. The XLSX includes the full resource grid, line-item detail, and cost/margin breakdown.
What if our rate cards or roles are different from your defaults?+
Fully configurable. Define your own skill catalog, seniority tiers, onshore and offshore rates, and role allocations per project type. No hardcoded assumptions about your practice — the engine reads from your configuration.
