Cost data you can question, trust and use.

Project budgets are huge, they change every period, and they are spread across several files. By the time you need last month's figure, it has already been overwritten.

Then a claim comes in with a long list of rates and little to back them up.

Teams spend hours checking by hand and still cannot fully prove the answer. A rate accepted without evidence, or a figure that turns out to be wrong, costs real money and real credibility.

Measure, don't guess

Every rate is compared with real, observed prices for the same kind of work, not with a feeling for what things should cost.

Fixed rules for every dollar

Dollar figures are always worked out the same way, so the same inputs give the same result every time.

Every number has a source

Any figure can be traced back to the file and the period it came from, and past periods stay exactly as they were.

Checked before accepted

A claimed rate is tested before it is taken at face value. Anything that can't be backed up is flagged for review and kept out of the totals.
