3. Review `bid-package-working/takeoff/candidate-pages.md` (candidate pages plus scope signals).
4. Fill `takeoff/scope-pages-sources.json`, then run `contractor-bid build-packets <project>`.
5. Fill the takeoff JSON, then run `contractor-bid build-workbook <project>`.

7. Record user corrections with `contractor-bid learn` and update this skill/profile when the correction should become a durable rule.
