LinkedIn Post 13: When Estimates Meet Reality
Procurement: "This project will create 250 sustained jobs at 12 months."
12-month measurement: "Actual outcome: 170 sustained jobs."
Variance: -68 jobs. -27%.
Current system: Nobody documents this gap. Next project proceeds with similar estimates uncorrected.
SVGA-TEMPORAL requires reconciliation. Why did outcomes diverge? What assumptions were wrong? How should future estimates adjust?
This closes the feedback loop. Models improve. Estimates become more realistic. Communities receive more honest promises.
Learning from reality. That's how systems get better.
