Products
Summit Labs ships real software — not slideware. Start free with the Signal Check, read up on the operational diagnostic behind it, explore the vertical platforms we've built for specific industries, use the free tools we run, or see what we built for a client.
Our diagnostic
Our flagship isn't a SaaS login — it's a diagnostic. A fixed-scope operational review that shows exactly where margin, cash, and hours are leaking, delivered as a designed report and a 30/60/90-day plan. It's the productized first engagement with Summit Labs, before any build or implementation work.
Commercial products
Two products built for specific industries — proof that the operator recommending your technology has shipped real software, end to end.
Live
Contractor intelligence and operations platform.
On the web and on iPhone.
The problem
Contractors take on bad clients because vetting is gut-call. The tool stack is fragmented, payments slip, and disputes age out into write-offs.
The solution
A combined platform: client intelligence and pre-contract scoring built from reviews, public records, permit history, and lien data — paired with full job management, team coordination, invoicing, and Stripe-powered payments.
Key features
Built for
General contractors, construction trades, and service businesses that need to qualify clients and run jobs end-to-end in one place.
Owned in partnership
Client Check is co-owned equally with Greater Oak Contracting — the Athens, Georgia remodeling company that runs every job on the platform. Summit Labs designs and builds it; Greater Oak proves it on real job sites as customer zero and the live flagship. One partner lives the work, the other engineers it — that's the product.
On hold, not taking new sign-ups
Grant diligence platform for foundations and grant-making teams.
The site and its demo, built on sample data, are up.
More than 1.6 million nonprofit organizations indexed, from Funder IQ's own directory count.
The problem
Foundations and grant-making teams run diligence with a patchwork — IRS lookups, ProPublica, BMF data, and spreadsheets. Slow, inconsistent, hard to defend.
The solution
One workspace where a program officer pulls a first-pass dossier in minutes: standing, governance, financial narrative, risk synthesis, peer benchmarking. Every conclusion is source-traceable.
Key features
Built for
Private foundations, corporate philanthropy teams, donor-advised fund operators, and grant-makers running formal diligence.
“I work for a non-profit that covers an eight-county region, so it is vital that I am aware of all the funding opportunities available. Summit Labs built an app for me that scours the internet for grants…”
This review is about a custom grant-finding tool we built for Live Tampa Bay, not about Funder IQ.

471 projects tracked as of , counted from lakelandmarks.com's published data.
Live and free, no sponsors listed yet

More than 1,700 Polk nonprofits listed, counted in the sponsorpolk.com directory.
Live and free, weekly build paused
A free public index of what is worth photographing within two hours of Lakeland, with the dates and conditions that make each subject worth the drive.
Weekly build paused since , as its own health check reports.
Client work
Software we built to someone else's brief. The site belongs to the client, who runs it, and it credits Summit Labs as the builder.
Live, built for a client
A community calendar of recovery events across Pasco, Hillsborough and Pinellas counties: anyone can post an event, and each one is reviewed before it appears.
