Method: unbid invitations = invitations - bids. Days measuring = bids x days per takeoff, and their cost uses the estimator's yearly cost spread over months and working days. The value of unbid work = unbid invitations x your hit rate x average contract value, which assumes your hit rate would hold on jobs you did not choose to bid.
