# Bid / Tender Review Skill

A low bid is only cheap if the scope is actually in it. This skill runs the review an experienced estimator or owner's rep would run before award: reconcile the bid against the bid documents, hunt the exclusions and qualifications that quietly shift risk back to the buyer, test unit rates against sanity ranges, and check the schedule of values for front-loading. The goal is a levelled, apples-to-apples view and a written list of what to clarify **before** signing — not after mobilisation.

## What This Skill Produces

- A **scope gap register** — items in the bid documents but missing, excluded, or ambiguous in the bid
- An **exclusions & qualifications risk table** — each one classified by who ends up holding the risk
- **Pricing red flags** — outlier unit rates, unbalanced line items, allowances hiding real cost
- A **front-loading check** on the schedule of values
- An **award recommendation** with pre-award clarification questions (RFI-to-bidder list)
