well... I mean, that's the whole point - end game is to have engineer-sourced figures that you can show to your banker so that they put cash in your account and become subject to the opportunity cost paradox when it's too late and you have to move your deadlines.
We do it at the start, people change their mind 10 times and then we deliver something different and it's considered business as usual.
But if I suggest just once that we cut the estimates out, people get angry and afraid.
