Tips
Count the days once, then let a diary do it
Deadlines are missed by people counting under pressure, not by people who can't count.
Sending the application
A perfect valuation sent the wrong way is a payment problem you built yourself.
Evidence everything, every time
Applications aren't usually cut down because the work wasn't done. They're cut down because nobody could see it was.
After you press send
Submission isn't the end of the job. It's the halfway point.
Keep a file that could go to an adjudicator tomorrow
The discipline isn't for the dispute you're in. It's for the one you can't see coming.
Watch every cycle, on every job, at once
Individual cycles fail quietly. It's the ledger that shows you the pattern.
When a notice comes back low
Check whether the notice worked before you argue about its figures.
