01Generating a fake score
Generating a fake score can undermine the page-specific aim to build a cost model from real scope, third-party quotes, timing, unit economics, recurring obligations, contingencies, and excluded items rather than an invented estimate. Test the assumption with current evidence, describe the likely consequence, select a prevention control, and name both the escalation owner and the fact that would trigger reconsideration.
02Hiding missing evidence
Hiding missing evidence can undermine the page-specific aim to build a cost model from real scope, third-party quotes, timing, unit economics, recurring obligations, contingencies, and excluded items rather than an invented estimate. Test the assumption with current evidence, describe the likely consequence, select a prevention control, and name both the escalation owner and the fact that would trigger reconsideration.
03Treating all gaps equally
Treating all gaps equally can undermine the page-specific aim to build a cost model from real scope, third-party quotes, timing, unit economics, recurring obligations, contingencies, and excluded items rather than an invented estimate. Test the assumption with current evidence, describe the likely consequence, select a prevention control, and name both the escalation owner and the fact that would trigger reconsideration.
04Confusing a checklist with approval
Confusing a checklist with approval can undermine the page-specific aim to build a cost model from real scope, third-party quotes, timing, unit economics, recurring obligations, contingencies, and excluded items rather than an invented estimate. Test the assumption with current evidence, describe the likely consequence, select a prevention control, and name both the escalation owner and the fact that would trigger reconsideration.
