Private Project Cost Intelligence
The finding
One line is not where the contract says it should be.
The trace
The thread runs from that line to the money — and stops it.
Yachting
A refit is judged deck by deck.
Luxury residences
The same sofa cannot be delivered twice.
Real estate & industry
Progress is what is built, not what is billed.
Private cost intelligence for high-value projects — luxury residences, prime real estate, industry, yachting. Every claim, variation and payment request traced back to contracts, scope, approvals and evidence.
CostBleed sits above the record you already keep. Before a payment application, variation or invoice is approved, it is reconstructed against what was agreed, what changed, what was authorized and what was previously claimed — and every line is checked against the documents that support it.
It does not replace your project management system, your accounting software or your quantity surveyor. It gives the person who signs the approval a single, evidence-linked view of what is safe to pay, what needs a question answered first, and what should be held.
Requested is not the same as supported. This is the decision ledger a Scan produces for one package — the same shape you receive in your ProofPack.

Illustrative figures, shown to demonstrate the format. Your ProofPack reconciles to your own numbers, with every figure traced to a source document.
Each outcome carries a recommended action and a named, timestamped reviewer before it reaches you.
Every material finding in a ProofPack is built the same way: a plain-English rationale, an amount at issue, and the exact source it rests on.
Illustrative finding, built to show the format. Every finding you receive is validated by a qualified reviewer before it reaches you.
Potential bleed
Preliminaries claimed twice
€9,600
The same site-management preliminaries appear as a full line in Application No. 2 and again in Application No. 3. The approved schedule of values carries this item once for the whole package.
Recommended actionHold €9,600 pending a reconciled preliminaries schedule from the contractor.
Twelve ways value leaks out of a well-run project — each one a deterministic check, each finding traced to the clause and the page that prove it.
The same work claimed in two applications — or twice in one.
A rate above the schedule of rates the contract fixed.
More measured than the drawings and site records support.
Overhead and profit applied beyond the agreed percentage.
A change executed without the instruction the contract requires.
A claimed line with no document standing behind it.
A variation that repeats work already inside the contract scope.
Retention deducted at the wrong rate, or against the wrong base.
A cumulative figure that does not reconcile with the last application.
A provisional sum spent without the unused balance returned.
Two versions of one document carrying different figures.
Completion claimed ahead of what the records evidence.
The ProofPack is the deliverable: a decision summary that reconciles to the package total, a finding-by-finding evidence trail, and a reviewer sign-off — built to be shown to whoever signs the approval.
