Abstract
What you'll learn
On a multi-million-dollar bid, a decimal-place typo on a major line item is enough to flip the win/loss outcome. Decimal-place defects are the dominant survivable-defect class in commercial estimating. This session walks through the three structural fixes we ship: regional cost-bound checks, org-history outlier detection, and CSI-division required-coverage validation. Live demo on a contrived high-defect bid; we walk through every flag.
