I'm still working on articulating my main difficulty in the transition from Ace to PDI estimating.
At a high level, it's that our process is built on instrumental methods, but that it is frequently judged from a realist perspective. See realism-vs-instrumentalism.
There may be a more accurate way to state this. 2025-11-10#2025-11-10 11 14 may be an example of a similar issue, where instrumental methods are presented as if they were realist, causing confusion when the methods are, as judged from a realist perspective, wrong.

Is there a conversation happening with our customers before they receive our proposal?
Is it clear they understand what we're excluding?
