## Recursive Typicals
A competent quantity takeoff software must support **recursive typicals**.
> "Building Type A" has Levels
> * Level 01,
> * Level 02,
> * Level 03,
> * Level 04,
> * Level 05
>
> "Building Type A Levels 02-04" is typical of
> * "Building Type A/Level 02",
> * "Building Type A/Level 03",
> * "Building Type A/Level 04"
>
> "Building Type A" is typical of
> * "Building 1",
> * "Building 2",
> * "Building 3"
In all cases, a typical must behave as the **Type** it is typical of,
(i.e. the process to assign takeoff to "Levels 02-10"
must be essentially the same as to do so to "Level 01")
and the use of a typical must not exclude the use of the breakdowns it is typical of
(i.e. the use of "Levels 02-10" must not exclude the use of "Level 02").

I asked a former [[pdi-operations#Project Manager|PM]]
what purpose [[conest|ConEst]] serves
if [[pdi-operations|Ops]] is doing the same takeoff.
He said I was mistaken,
that Ops modifies the ConEst estimate,
they don't redo it.
When Ops receives the [[pdi-vdc|VDC]] Feeder Verification Sheet
(which is based on our own [[pdi-project-start-notification#Feeder Verification]])
they change our takeoff to match.
