What was buried.

These are real findings from real bid packages. Every one of them was sitting in the documents — waiting for someone to read the right page at the right time.

You upload your bid package — specs, contracts, addenda, safety manuals, everything. LARRY runs 100+ independent criteria against all of it. Four minutes later, you get findings.

Each criterion does four things:

01

Searches

Every document — not just for keywords, but for synonyms, intent, and variations. There are fifty ways to write “required.” LARRY knows all of them.

02

Detects

The specific facts that matter for this criterion.

03

Analyzes

What it found — assesses risk against defined thresholds, flags conflicts, identifies what’s missing.

04

Cites

The exact page, section, and spec number.

You don’t get a summary. You get findings you can verify.

Cost Driver

Replacement Wage Language

Spec requires “replacement wages” for all labor — not additive to base rates. Buried in the general conditions on a data center project. Strange language, easy to miss, expensive to discover in the field.

Contract Risk

Retention Tied to Warranty

Retention isn’t released at substantial completion. It’s held until the warranty period expires. That’s your money sitting in someone else’s account for months — maybe years — after you’ve finished the work.

Contract Section → Jump to Source
Scope Risk

Water Testing Requirements

Spec requires full water testing on all exterior glazing assemblies — a six-figure line item that doesn’t show up in the bid invitation or the scope summary. It’s buried in the performance spec for the curtain wall section.

Section 08 44 00 → Jump to Source
Cost Driver

Shift Differential Labor

Active campus, occupied building. Night-only work in patient areas. Your estimate assumes day shifts — but the spec requires flex and stretch on nights and weekends. That’s overtime you didn’t price.

Section 01 10 00, Execution Requirements → Jump to Source

These aren’t edge cases. They’re in every spec book — buried in Div 01 General Requirements, scattered across addenda, hiding in execution clauses nobody reads at 9 PM on a Tuesday.

LARRY reads all of them. Every time. And every finding links back to the exact paragraph so you can see it yourself.

Trust but verify. That’s the whole idea.

LARRY doesn’t guess. It runs a library of 100+ criteria built by estimators, construction attorneys, and domain experts who’ve seen what gets missed.

Each criterion is independent and composable. You pick the ones that matter for your trade. Division 09? Different criteria than Division 15. Government project? Different criteria than private.

The library grows. Your team tells LARRY what to watch for through the Criteria Coach — plain English, no engineering needed. That lesson learned from the last project becomes active prevention on the next one.

10,000 pages. 100 criteria. 4 minutes.
