The Leverage Scorer

Negotiation is math plus nerve. This scores your position from public signals and your own prep — then hands you an opening number and the words. v1: rough, honest, and improving with real data.

How the score works (v1)

Days on market: +25 (>60) · +15 (30–60) · +8 (14–30) · 0 (<14)
Price cuts: +8 each, capped at +24 · Competition & market temperature: up to +35 combined
Your prep: financing +10 · flexible closing +6 · condition-light +6
Opening offer starts at 0–2% under ask (score <25) up to 7–12% under (score 65+); "walk-way ceiling" = full ask, because a number you overpay is worse than a deal you lose.
Estimates only — not advice. Real leverage depends on the seller's life story, which no calculator can see. This gets you in the room swinging.
