- A new prime parsing a 400-page Section L/M already contained a government estimate that is 30% below your floor before contract-mod scope creep log arrived; no new Compliance and Cyber Requirements path.
- Provenance on contract-mod scope creep log after a government estimate that is 30% below your floor is broken; do not pick Pursue or Pursue with conditions yet.
