I've got gusseted-bracket records that look reassuring until the clamps come off. Then the drawing failures appear, followed by unexplained correction and a final tick. Before this gets priced into our FR10 plan, which of those readings can honestly support a fixture decision?
The restrained and released readings answer different questions, and a final tick after correction doesn't tell you what the fixture achieved on its own; can you see how the bracket was supported for either released measurement?
There's a photograph of the inspection bench, not a support record for each part. Same bracket drawing revision on the sheets. The correction column has initials but no method or duration.
Elena, would you still use the correction initials to show that the process had an extra operation? I'd hate the missing duration to turn into a zero-minute allowance in Nina's quote.
That gives me a useful boundary. I've marked the identified correction entries as extra work with time unknown and removed the calculated springback column; it was subtracting readings whose supports we can't establish. The fixture choice remains open. We need comparable first released checks, not a tidier subtraction.
And someone must own collecting those checks before the quote quietly becomes a commitment. I wouldn't stop the estimating work, but I'd make the unknown work visible where the decision-maker sees the price, not buried in the old inspection folder
