§ 00 — The Standard

We get Wisconsin body shops paid what they're actually owed.

Line-by-line supplement review that recovers the labor, operations, and parts insurance carriers leave off your estimate — backed by Mitchell CEG, CCC ONE procedure pages, and Wisconsin statute.

We also help Wisconsin businesses run smoother with workflow, web, and advisory work.

§ 01 — The Problem

Carriers short-pay. Most shops don't have the time — or the citations — to fight back.

The estimate came back short and you don't have time to fight it.

You're running a shop, not a legal desk. Every hour spent arguing labor rates is an hour off the floor.

You know operations are missing, but can't cite the P-page fast enough.

Adjusters push back. Without the procedure citation in hand, the conversation ends where it started.

You'd rather fix cars than write adjuster letters.

Regulatory letters, statute citations, follow-ups — every carrier plays the clock. We play it back.

§ 05 — Specialist of Record

Frederick Baier. WI-001.

Tactic Management was built around a problem nobody was solving. Wisconsin body shops were consistently underpaid by carriers — and most shops didn't have the time, tools, or expertise to fight back.

Every position we take is tied to a procedure page. If it's documented, it's non-negotiable. If it isn't, it isn't argued. That discipline is why adjusters respond and why shops get paid.

§ 06 — Answers

The questions shops actually ask.

Will the carrier retaliate against my shop?+

No. Every position is anchored to the platform the carrier's own estimate was written on and to Wisconsin statute. There is nothing to retaliate against — we're citing their tools back to them.

What does it actually cost?+

Your first Discovery Review is free. If we don't identify material recovery, we tell you and the file stops there. Full supplement packages are quoted per file after you've seen what's recoverable.

Do you work with my management system?+

Yes. Mitchell, CCC ONE, and Audatex estimates all work. We accept PDF exports, EMS files, or straight photos of the printout.

What if there's no recovery to identify?+

You get a written no-go on Discovery, at no cost, with the lines we checked and why they landed as MATCH. You keep the file. We don't invent recovery that isn't there.

How fast is turnaround?+

48 business hours from intake for Discovery Review. Full supplement packages are typically 3–5 business days depending on complexity.

§ 07 — Open a File

Send the estimate. We'll take it from there.

First Discovery Review is free for new shops. No commitment — just a clear picture of what you're owed.
