That is as egregious a flaw as why did we do 30% over estimated, right?
We don't want that kind of deviation.
We wanna get our, like,
We can estimate accurately within a half a percent.
That's to execute on a project.
I'm willing to go in with a fixed sum contract, not cost plus, fixed sum.
I'm happy to show the client all of the numbers in the estimate and how we got there, you know, full transparency up until the point that we start executing, but it's not cost plus it's now it's not the onus is on me to actually execute on that thing.
Right.
And know that when we come up the other side of that, barring, barring something weird, we should be tracking right on.
And if we're,
This is a true story.
When we go through projects, if we tracked significantly better than we had estimated, that's a refund to the client.
Right?

The goal isn't to bloat your estimate so that you're bloated, right?
The goal is to be accurate, and then you can be honest, and you can say, this is the cost.

That wasn't what I sold.
