There is a palpable animosity for [[pdi-estimating#Bid Estimating|Bid]]
in [[pdi-estimating#Construction Estimating (ConEst)|ConEst]],
stemming (I believe) from an lack of buy-in on Bid's part.

The lack is easily explained by their [[estimating-culture#Incentives|incentive structure]]:
Since throughput is systematically prioritized over accuracy,
ConEst has a strictly antagonistic role
because it slows down the bid process.
