## Quick Start

```python
prequal = SubcontractorPrequalification("Office Tower")

app = prequal.add_application("ABC Electric", "Electrical", "info@abc.com",
                              years_in_business=15, annual_revenue=10000000,
                              bonding_capacity=5000000, emr_rate=0.85)

prequal.score_application(app.app_id, {
    "Safety Record": 8, "Financial Stability": 7, "Experience": 8,
    "References": 7, "Capacity": 8, "Insurance/Bonding": 9
})

qualified = prequal.get_qualified("Electrical")
