Deal-pricing engine

A cost corridor plus a willingness-to-pay layer, with role-gated access that hides internal cost below manager level.

What was built

  • Fully loaded cost corridor
  • Value layer and margin-escalation gate
  • Role-based redaction
  • 150+ tests on the cost layer

What happened

Cost layer shipped and tested; the value layer stayed uncalibrated for lack of deal history. Folded into a successor tool.

What it taught me

Label the verified half and the unverified half separately, or a working demo vouches for both.
