Rethinking Scoping & Estimating: A Better Way to Understand Loss
Blurring scoping and estimating leads to missed details, overlooked costs, and difficulty justifying past and future work. Let’s reframe it together.
David Herring, founder of WriteLoss, alongside Encircle’s Chief Product Officer Jeff McDowell, break down why the traditional approach to scoping isn’t cutting it, especially on complex losses.
We’ll talk about what a complete scope actually looks like, why there’s no such thing as too much detail, and how small gaps can turn into big problems.
