About
Built for the people who run cleaning businesses
Opora is a set of AI tools purpose-built for commercial cleaning and janitorial contractors — operators who write bids, screen candidates, decode RFPs, and manage accounts with little margin for error.
What we are building
Commercial cleaning booked $74.03B in U.S. receipts in 2022 (Census SUSB) and employs over 2.9 million people, and tens of thousands of owner-operators run those businesses without the analyst teams or legal staff that larger enterprises take for granted. A solo BSC operator writing a healthcare bid is doing the same analytical work as a Fortune 500 procurement team — but with a spreadsheet, a phone, and whatever time is left after the shift ends.
Opora's tools reduce that gap. Every output cites the primary source (BLS wages, ISSA 612 production rates, EPA Safer Choice standards, SAM.gov solicitation data) so the numbers are defensible and operators understand why the tool says what it says. No black-box recommendations. No guessing.
The pipeline comes first. Every Opora tool is designed around the bid pipeline: acquire the contract, build the bid, deliver the work, protect the margin. This is not a general-purpose AI assistant — it is a workflow tool for a specific and demanding trade.
The tools
Bid Drafter
Build a defensible, fully priced cleaning bid from building details, service scope, and your business profile. Outputs a client-ready proposal with cost stack and margin.
RFP Decoder
Paste any commercial cleaning RFP and get the deadlines, disqualifiers, insurance requirements, and compliance hooks extracted in plain English — under two minutes.
Margin Sentinel
Account-by-account margin watch anchored to current BLS labor data and your actual cost structure. Flags accounts slipping below target before the month closes.
Hire Right
Job description, screening questions, BLS-anchored pay range by metro, and a 30/60/90 onboarding plan. Covers the contractor vs. employee decision with state-specific guidance.
Handbook Drafter
Operator-voice employee handbook covering attendance, safety, uniform, PTO, and conduct. Not a template fill-in — a real, readable policy document.
Compliance Check
Checks a facility type and scope against OSHA, EPA, and state-level requirements. Returns a flagged list of requirements your bid assumptions should address.
Lost Bid Autopsy
Paste a bid you lost. Get a clear read on the most likely reasons and specific changes for the next submission — anchored to market benchmarks, not generic advice.
Ask Opora
Direct question-and-answer on any cleaning industry topic. Cites primary sources. Refuses to guess when data is unavailable. Updated weekly with current BLS and regulatory data.
How we work
-
Primary sources only
Every wage figure, production rate, and pricing benchmark is sourced to a named primary source — BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, ISSA 612, EPA Safer Choice, BSCAI Estimating Guide, SAM.gov. If a number cannot be cited, the tool says so.
-
No AI tells in output
Opora outputs are reviewed for generic AI language before each release. The tools write the way a knowledgeable industry professional would write — direct, specific, and useful to someone who has run cleaning accounts before.
-

Browse calculators and research without signing in. A free account unlocks saved artifacts, history, and full AI tool runs — with no subscription and no card. See Free Access for what that means.
-
Data updated weekly
Wage and benchmark data is refreshed on a weekly schedule. The BLS OES release cycle is incorporated automatically. Tool prompts are versioned — operators can see when the underlying data last changed on each tool's help page.
Editorial standards
All content on Opora — tool outputs, help articles, benchmark data, and copy — is written and reviewed by the Opora editorial team. The team has backgrounds in commercial cleaning operations, B2B SaaS, and technical writing. No content is published without review against the source it cites.
We publish under one masthead instead of individual bylines. The team is accountable as a group for every number on this site, and the rules we hold each other to are written down: our Editorial Standards set the primary-source hierarchy by data type, our Editorial Process covers how a page gets published, and our Corrections Policy covers what happens when we get something wrong.
The practical version: every claim links to the source it came from, so you can check our work without taking anyone's word for it. Found an error or want to dispute a source? Use the feedback button on any page or email [email protected] with "correction" in the subject line. Corrections are published, not quietly edited.
