No live picture, just a final account surprise.

The programme says one thing, the bank account says another.

Nobody maintains the gap between what we expect and what the record supports.

Hours of copy and paste for numbers that are stale on arrival.

No materials-on-site record, no variation tracker, no forecast, and a valuation due.

The programme says one thing, the bank says another, and nothing joins them up.

Applications have run ahead of the work all year and the business has spent against a margin that was only ever early money.

The month is closed and the question everyone actually wants answered - what will this job make - is still a guess.

Materials, plant and haulage crept up over months; there is no notified position and nothing in the forecast.

Invoices out, some paid, some short, some ignored, and no single list that says which.

The first real risk event comes straight out of margin, because nothing was ever set aside for it.

It looks like admin until a claim needs the cost record behind it and there isn't one.
