I definitively think my new approach of putting nascent ideas in 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 satisfactory1 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 unsatisfactory1 , but otherwise is scored by number of questions asked.
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.

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"). ↩︎
