-I definitively think my new approach
-of putting nascent ideas in [[periodic-notes|daily notes]]
-rather than separate fleeting notes
-is superior.
-
-The unfortunate reality is I'll never look at most of them again,
-so better that they don't crowd out my main notes.

-### Estimating Golf
-
-What interests me most in [[construction-estimating]]
-is an idea you might call "estimating golf":
-the goal is to produce a satisfactory[^1] estimate,
-but the estimator can not view the project documents
-and must instead ask questions about the job
-(answerable in a sentence or less)
-of a neutral party ("the reader").
-The estimator fails if the estimate is unsatisfactory[^1],
-but otherwise is scored by number of questions asked.
-
-[^1]: satisfactory in terms of accuracy and precision,
-    according to the standards of the organization.
-    a control estimate must be prepared accordingly
-    by a neutral party ("the control").
-
-You could further imagine different brackets
-for required accuracy and precision,
-whether organization historicals are freely available
-or must be questioned like project details.
-
-The most interesting part of this problem is choosing when to stop,
-since it requires one to estimate their certainty of their estimate.
