Sound familiar?
The budget is a spreadsheet one of you maintains from memory. The decisions happen in texts and nobody's sure what was final. The tile had a four-week lead and no one ordered it, so the whole job sat for a month.

Cabinets are a 6-week lead now — need the order in this week or framing slips 😬
wait, did we land on quartz or the laminate? thought that was still open
Sam
we said quartz IF it stays under $4k installed… quote came back $4.3k
ok let's still do quartz, but then we cut the backsplash budget to make it work
Sam
deal 👍

What you get
A budget that doesn't drift
Every line, committed vs. estimated, what's over cap — visible to everyone, not guarded by one person.
Decisions that don't reopen
The call, the options, who signed off, why. Six weeks later it's still answerable.
Orders before they block you
Lead times tracked against the schedule — it tells you what to order now so framing doesn't slip.

vs. a basic AI chat
You could ask ChatGPT. Here's what it can't do.
A basic AI chat
- ✕Gives you a generic renovation checklist you copy into a doc that's stale by week two.
- ✕Forgets what you decided the moment the chat scrolls; you re-ask the same questions.
- ✕Can't see the contractor's messages or act on them.
Pango
- ✓Keeps a live budget + schedule that updates from the actual thread — no doc to maintain.
- ✓Records every decision (and who signed off) so the quartz call doesn't get re-litigated in week six.
- ✓Reads the whole group thread and flags the 6-week cabinet lead before it stalls framing.
