02 / 07Context

Why this pattern exists

Construction creates an asset. Whether customer controls it during construction (criterion b) vs at completion (criterion c) determines if over-time recognition applies. Most modern construction contracts qualify.

05 / 07What the platform does

End-to-end behavior

  1. 1Cost-to-cost engine with uninstalled-materials adjustment (zero margin until installed)
  2. 2EAC (estimate-at-completion) re-estimation each period
  3. 3Loss contract provisioning under ASC 605-35
  4. 4Claims and unapproved change orders as variable consideration with constraint
06 / 07Watchouts

What auditors flag

Common mistakes preparers make on this pattern. The platform's confidence routing surfaces these for reviewer ratification before sign-off.

Including uninstalled materials at full margin
Failing the over-time test (defaulting to completion)
