Domain-specific

• Requirements Churn
  • Work already installed is demolished and redone; trades stand idle waiting for a stable drawing set, generating documented standby and acceleration costs; and the mismatch surfaces as disputed change-order claims and schedule overruns

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
