How it works
Three layers of review, every finding with the clause, the item, the benchmark and the reasoning.
1 · Entitlement
Is this work really outside the contract scope? Each CO item is classified against the contract language — likely out of scope, ambiguous, or already covered.
2 · Compliance
Effective total markup vs. the contract cap. We detect markup stacking — sub + GC + supervision + general conditions added on top of each other.
3 · Market
Line items vs. public benchmarks. Vague lump sums — "miscellaneous labor", "general conditions" — and round numbers without backup get flagged.

CO-001 — correction of contract price, $235,517.33
Clause cited:"The original contract price did not include all work as awarded. This change order is to correct the contract price."
Reasoning: magnitude without itemization — no breakdown, no backup, no schedule of values attached. Confidence: medium.
Recommendation: request the original awarded scope and an item-by-item comparison before approval.
Scope "all work as awarded"
Clause cited:"The original contract price did not include all work as awarded"
Reasoning: without the original proposal and scope, entitlement cannot be verified. Confidence: low.
Recommendation: request original proposal, scope and item-by-item comparison.
Public document from the project corpus (state school board CO), anonymized. Low-confidence findings never become accusations — they become "review recommended". That is the CostSense rule.

Nothing — this is free for the first 25 companies. After your audit we may invite you to a 15-minute call to walk through the findings.
