### ConEst OneNote Template

The ConEst OneNote template concept
is flawed in ways that can not be addressed in OneNote,
but it has good ideas, too;
some I would not have thought could work so well.

#### Takeoff Checklist

At Ace my takeoff notes were entirely freeform,
and I would have balked at the idea of using a standard checklist.
Our projects were so varied
that no list could be generic enough
to approach universal applicability
without being so shallow
as to be useless to an experienced estimator.

#### Estimator Initials

Voluntary commitment to responsibility.
An estimator adding their initials
knows they are expected to be familiar with the scope.

I'm tempted to replace [[daily-notes]] with timestamped notes
from core plugins Unique Note Creator,
however the utility of the calendar widget is hard to concede.
