What It Finds
Cost leakage means evidenced value loss such as penalties, wastage, rework, delay cost, idle resources, delayed PO impact, excess consumption, or calculated overruns. BOQ value, planned spend, contract value, work done, and advance recovery stay baseline budget.
| Signal | Category | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| BOQ value | BASELINE_BUDGET | Approved baseline for comparison. |
| Rework cost with source note | LEAKAGE_AND_OVERRUN | Potential value loss when evidence supports it. |
| Actual greater than Budget | LEAKAGE_AND_OVERRUN | Calculated as Actual - Budget when both values are available. |
Budget vs Leakage
Cost leakage is not total project value, BOQ value, planned spend, work done, or advance recovery. Constrovet keeps those baseline values separate.
Leakage findings are created only when project evidence supports them.
Essential Data Files
- Budget, actual spend, BOQ, contract value, and work-done statements.
- Procurement records, purchase orders, invoices, and material consumption logs.
- Daily progress reports, delay notes, site instructions, and schedule updates.
- ESG, energy, fuel, water, carbon, waste, and emissions records when available.
What Executives Get
Each finding should show the issue, category, amount if quantified, days if evidenced, citation, confidence, and missing evidence.
