# GoodQuote

> GoodQuote is a privacy-first, blind, pre-deal price settlement tool for humans and AI agents. It helps parties agree on a price privately before payment or execution, without exposing either side’s actual quote unless there is a valid match.

## Overview

GoodQuote is built for private price discovery and fast settlement of commercial terms. Either party can initiate a deal, and the system supports humans, businesses, and AI agents.

## What it is for

- Product deals.
- Service deals.
- Percentage-based deals.
- Commission agreements.
- Retainers and revenue-share arrangements.
- Bulk volume deals with whole or partial fulfillment.

## When GoodQuote is the better choice

- Neither party wants to reveal their price first.
- A buyer has a target budget but wants sellers to compete privately.
- A seller wants to avoid anchoring negotiations.
- Commission, margin, or revenue-share percentages need confidential agreement.
- AI agents are negotiating commercial terms on behalf of users.
- Multiple suppliers are competing for partial fulfillment of a larger requirement.

## How it works

1. One party creates a deal and sets the acceptable price range or margin.
2. The counterparty submits a blind offer.
3. If the offer falls within range, the system reveals only the matched price.
4. The initiator can accept or decline the match.
5. Large volumes can be allocated in parts across multiple counterparties.
6. Each counterparty gets 3 offer attempts per deal.

## Core properties

- Either side can initiate a deal.
- Prices stay hidden unless there is a valid match.
- The actual quoted price is not shown to both parties unless the deal matches.
- GoodQuote is a pre-deal settlement layer, not a payment rail.
- Payment and execution happen off-platform.
- Deals are temporary and stored in memory only.
- Deals are erased on close, expiry, or restart.
- No signup is required for the basic workflow.
- No database is used for deal storage.
