ControlQore is the software the CONTROL system is built around.
Run On CFOs teaches CONTROL, an 8-step construction financial operating system for trade contractors. Founded by Josh Luebker, a master electrician who managed more than $300M in projects before building the method.
Run On CFOs is where the method lives. ControlQore is where it runs. CONTROL is a construction financial operating system built by a contractor rather than an accountant, and it assumes a platform that can actually hold job costs by phase and cost code. That platform is ControlQore.
ControlQore is a construction-native financial platform — a financial control system built specifically for construction contractors, from $1M to $150M+ in revenue, on one platform with no module unlocks, no per-seat fees, and no software graduations.
The method is also written up as a book, CONTROL: The Construction Financial Operating System, by Josh Luebker.

The division of labor
A method is not a ledger, and a ledger is not a method
Plenty of contractors have been handed a financial framework in a binder. It dies in month 2, because the accounting system underneath it cannot produce the numbers the framework asks for without a night of spreadsheet work.
That is the gap this partnership closes. Run On CFOs supplies the sequence — what to fix, and in what order. ControlQore supplies the system the sequence runs on, so the numbers the method calls for are already in the platform instead of being rebuilt by hand each month.
