Decision rules
Turn the postmortem into better pricing
Actual time exceeded plan
Identify whether the cause was estimation, scope change, revisions, client delay, rework, or an inefficient delivery process.
Profit was positive but too thin
Use the target-price output as a starting point for the next comparable engagement, then adjust for market and value.
The project went below break-even
Do not repeat the same scope and commercial terms without a deliberate correction to price, process, or risk allocation.
