What the documents were hiding
Three findings. Zero guesses.
The door with no hardware
A111-B Door Schedule — Door D40 appears in the schedule — with no hardware set assigned.
Hardware sets HW-1 through HW-7 — No set references D40.
FastBid24 QA note (verbatim) — "Door D40 has no hardware set shown in the door schedule and is flagged for confirmation."
A silent row. Priced as-is, that's a door installed with no hardware in the bid — flagged instead of guessed.
The deliverable it became
Every layer above lands in one estimator-reviewed Excel workbook — schedule, sets, mapping, rollup, and the QA notes quoted verbatim in the findings.

This was one project.
Every package hides something. The only question is whether it gets found before bid day or after contract award.
Run the autopsy on your own package.
Same pipeline, same QC review, same honesty about what it finds.
