Estimation Prover
An AI estimated a database migration at 2 weeks. It took 11 weeks, cost $340K in delayed revenue, and left 3 engineers stuck in feature freeze. The estimate had no scope decomposition, no unknowns identified, no historical precedent, and no buffer. This capability forces granular scope breakdown, explicit unknown quantification, precedent mapping, and realistic buffer calculation before any timeline is committed.

Before you connect
Questions about Change Order Impact Calculator.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does the Change Order Impact Calculator help with scope creep?
It tracks how many changes you've made and what they cost compared to your original plan. This helps you see exactly how much the project is drifting so you can catch issues early.
Can I use the Change Order Impact Calculator for non-construction projects?
While built for construction, you can use it for any project with a fixed contract and specific change requests. It's great for any industry where you need to track cumulative costs.
Does the Change Order Impact Calculator calculate my profit margins?
Yes, it applies your specific overhead and profit margins to direct costs automatically. You just provide the base cost and the margin percentage.
How do I see the total impact of multiple changes?
The Connector keeps a running tally of all changes you've entered. It will show you the total financial impact and the total time delay for the entire project.
Will the Change Order Impact Calculator tell me if my project is at risk?
It categorizes your project's financial health based on the volume of changes. It helps you identify if scope drift has pushed the project into a high-risk zone.
Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?
Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf. You just connect it through the Vinkius catalog.
How does the capability calculate the total price of a change order?
The calculate_change_order_price capability takes the direct cost and an overhead/profit rate (e.g., 0.20 for 20%) to calculate the final price charged to the client.
Can I track the total impact of all changes on my project timeline?
Yes, using calculate_cumulative_impact, you can input your original contract value and previous change orders to see the updated contract total and estimated project delay in days.
How is project risk determined?
The assess_project_risk_level capability compares the total volume of change orders against the original contract value to categorize the project as low, medium, or high risk.
