Define the estimating boundary

Use a Decision Freeze Log on Bid Day uses define the estimating boundary. Record decision ID, source, time, estimate version, affected scope, approver, communication, and final disposition; preserve exact source wording, revision, and observation time so another estimator can reconstruct the treatment. Use a Decision Freeze Log on Bid Day keeps uncertainty visible.

Assign the unresolved condition to a named estimator or reviewer, define the evidence required, and avoid converting a gap into a favorable assumption. This define the estimating boundary checkpoint is specific to Use a Decision Freeze Log on Bid Day.

Assemble source evidence

Use a Decision Freeze Log on Bid Day uses assemble source evidence. Record decision ID, source, time, estimate version, affected scope, approver, communication, and final disposition; preserve exact source wording, revision, and observation time so another estimator can reconstruct the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who owns bid-day freeze?

The accountable estimator owns the estimate decision; support staff may organize evidence and route exceptions for Use a Decision Freeze Log on Bid Day.

What should be recorded first?

Start with the governing source, revision, receipt time, affected estimate line, and named owner.

When is the review complete?

Completion requires reviewer acknowledgment, linked evidence, a recorded disposition, and reconciliation of temporary states.
