The full reconciliation — methodology v5

Why “Sextant”?

A sextant is the navigator’s instrument for fixing a ship’s true position — sight the horizon, measure the angle, do the math. No guesswork, no drift, no arguing with the result. Azimuth Sextant does the same for a claim: it measures every estimate against the documented scope, the code, and the insurance company’s own numbers — and fixes the claim’s true position.

The log above is the running position. The full workbook is the deep reading: every estimate version compared category by category with live gap and movement formulas, a concession ledger tying every carrier move to the documentation that produced it, the general-conditions argument sheet, code upgrades / O&L with jurisdiction-verified permit math, squares & elevations reconciliation, remaining gaps against the documented cost basis, PA under-carry review, the settlement summary, and the negotiation timeline as a communications evidence engine.

22 automatic audit rules run on every claim — roofing provision vs. demo labor pricing (the workers’-comp check), general conditions and O&P, scaffolding, valuation-based permit fees, hazmat, steep/high charges, price-list staleness (both directions), labor depreciation, matching, open bid items, roof-squares and elevation coverage, system-matched accessories, open-frame labor yield, fall protection / netting on occupied buildings, code-increment discipline, debris-volume sanity, and the O&P premium-consideration framing.

To run the full workbook: copy Azimuth Sextant — Estimate Comparison Template v5 into the claim’s folder, drop the estimate PDFs above, then open Claude and say “Run the Sextant on [insured name].” Three versions save back to the claim’s folder — protected master, full internal copy, and the share copy with its PDF export.
