Independent audits for the attacher's side of the pole

The utility writes your make-ready invoice. Then grades its own homework.

Overcharges hide in the make-ready bill, and no builder has time to catch them pole by pole. We do. We read every estimate and invoice against your agreement and the rules that govern each charge, flag what you were overbilled, and hand you a Findings Report addressed to you, with the citation behind every line. On contingency. Find nothing, pay nothing.

The problem

You have no independent way to check the bill.

The pole owner estimates the work, does the work, bills for it, and grades its own math. No one on your side has time to read every line against your agreement and the rules that govern the pole. So the overcharges sit there, a replacement pole you didn't need, a fee that belongs on someone else's bill, quietly padding what you pay.

How it works

Upload it. Get results. Nothing in between.

01

Send the estimate or invoice

Upload it with your signed agreement through the intake form. Review before you pay, or audit after you're billed. No portal to log into first. One document is enough to start, and you do not need to send the whole project's paperwork. That is the whole ask.

02

The audit runs

Every line item is checked against your agreement, the rules that actually govern that pole, federal or state, and the regional benchmark. Same checks, same order, every document. What we check, and what we will not.

03

Your finding lands in your inbox

A plain-language summary and, where applicable, a Findings Report with citations and the corrected amount, addressed to you. Every citation points to the clause, rule, or benchmark it rests on, so you can check the work before you send anything. If nothing is wrong, the finding says so, and there is nothing to pay.

Estimate your savings

An estimate you control, based on the applicable FCC cost-allocation rules, not a claim about any client’s results. Set your own numbers.

Savings found$8,000
PoleProof’s share (20.0%)$1,600
On project monitoring$800
Net savings to you$6,400

Illustrative, not a quote. Your real number depends on your invoices and your region. You pay only on savings the pole owner actually concedes: 20% on the first $25,000, then 15%, 12% and 10% on the amounts above. On project monitoring the share is half of this.

Why you can check our work

Every finding cites the thing it rests on.

Every invoice runs through four independent checks. Each catches a different category of error, and they compound: a charge can pass one and still fail another.

No benchmark figure is ever shown to you unless it draws on at least three distinct pole owners across at least three distinct clients.

Nothing here asks you to take our word for it. The method is published, and the rule research is published state by state with the authority behind each entry.

What it costs

The first single-invoice check is free. After that you pay only from savings the pole owner actually concedes.

Nothing below is priced by the hour or by the document, and the first case costs nothing at all.

The free check
Nothing to sign and no card. One document, one finding, sent to your inbox, and you decide what to do next. No obligation to move to a paid audit afterward.
A paid audit
20% on the first $25,000 of Actual Savings, then 15%, 12% and 10% on the amounts above, the way tax brackets work. We are paid only on savings the pole owner actually concedes, never on a charge that merely looks wrong. You keep at least 80% of everything found.
Where contingency is restricted
Where local rules or your organization's status restrict contingency arrangements, the audit runs on a fixed fee earned on delivery instead. Your service agreement states which applies.
Project monitoring
Every estimate checked before you pay and every invoice after, at half rate on savings, so 10% where a single audit is 20%. What monitoring watches
