WHITE PAPER

The ROI of structured estimating, for financial decision-makers

ESTIMATION YARDOS

Estimating a bid on intuition leaves margin on the table. When the knowledge that makes an estimate accurate sits in a few people’s heads instead of in a system, a bid that should take minutes takes hours, and the risk stays hidden until the work is underway.

YARDOS Estimation (formerly Oxalis Advanced Estimation, OAE) connects bid development to execution. In the guide, a 2% margin improvement on a $10 million project returns $200,000. A 5% win rate increase adds roughly a fifth win most years. New hires reach full productivity 20% faster.
