This sample uses invented figures and documents. It shows how QuoteTrace puts the overall price first, keeps tax separate and treats scope wording as its own review.

Scope review
One scope difference is worth clarifying.
The invoice says “premium exterior coating” while the quote says “standard exterior coating.” This may explain part of the materials increase, but the wording alone does not prove that the change was approved.
Suggested question
Can you confirm when the coating specification changed and provide the approval supporting the additional materials cost?
