Output example

A working format the team can review, correct, and move into its internal process.

Bid closeout matrix

Reviewable output for the bid close meeting: each finding keeps its source, impact, and next action.

Finding	Source	Impact	Owner	Next action
Expected amount includes VAT, but the commercial form does not separate taxable base and tax.	Bid Data Sheet ITB 2.1, p.22	Can distort margin and subcontract comparison.	Estimating	Separate VAT in the cost sheet and request confirmation if the form does not allow a split.
Clarifications must be submitted in writing ten days before bid close.	Bid Data Sheet ITB 7.1, p.22	The pre-bid RFI window is critical to avoid pricing assumptions.	Bid team	Prepare an RFI on VAT split, milestones, and site visit before releasing final pricing.
Addendum 02 confirms the site visit and splits the operating schedule into design and construction.	Addendum 02, p.4; ITB 1.2, p.22	Affects general conditions, preliminary schedule, and visit logistics.	Preconstruction	Update the bid schedule and validate attendance with site notes/photos.

Converza does not close the decision automatically: it gives the bid, estimating, and preconstruction teams a cited matrix to validate.
