The operating principle
Know what the notice says. Know what your business assumes.
What does the notice require?
Inspect the retained documents. Missing or conflicting details stay unresolved until reviewed.
What can your crew handle?
Use your actual capacity, loaded labor, equipment, and supply costs.
Does the plan add up?
Review deterministic costs and margins from your inputs. Unknown costs are never zero by default.
