The first step to recovery of additional funds is analysis and preparation of a claim. Sage’s expertise in cost and schedule analysis make it well qualified to find the reasons for cost overruns and analyze whether those causes give rise to claims for recovery. Sage can perform the analysis of both the entitlement issues and the damages that flow from those entitlement issues, utilizing the client’s documentation to develop and verify its analysis. Sage can also prepare detailed and supportable claim documents, which clearly delineate the basis for the claim and the damages that are recoverable. If the claim cannot be resolved at this level, the damages analysis and schedule analysis underlying the claim preparation will provide the basis for the expert report and expert testimony required during litigation.
