Abstract: Aspects include a pre-service optimization system that provides timely and accurate estimate information to clients. Responsive to an indication of an order for a service, the system may generate an estimate of service costs, including the client responsibility amount, generate an elasticity estimate corresponding to the estimate including an indication of how likely the estimate is to change, a range within which the estimate is likely to change, and information about trigger points that affect the possible variability of the estimate. The system may push a notification to the client that includes a link to access the estimate and elasticity estimate. The notification may be delivered to the client in real time or near-real time as the estimate is generated. The system may further provide a user interface via which the client can access the estimate and elasticity estimate, and to access scheduling, payment, and financial assistance functionalities.
