Request quotes: every question in the wizard

Every screen and field of the Request quotes wizard, from who gets it to review and send.

You find this by tapping Request quotes → on the bar that appears after you add contractors, or from the front door. You must be signed in. One brief goes to every contractor you choose. It saves a draft to your account as you go, and Save and finish later lets you leave.

The short path has 7 steps. Add more detail brings back four more (the site, details, priorities and design steps). The Request quotes form shows a completeness meter (placeholder scoring, not approved). Background: request quotes.
