# Takeoff review checklist
A takeoff has been produced — by a person, by software, or by one of the tools in our
[open source construction tools](https://github.com/constructelligence-lab/open-source-construction-tools)
list — and it needs a review that is actually systematic.
## Inputs to collect
Ask the user for any of these you do not already have. Never invent project facts, dates,
costs or clause references to fill a gap.
- `{{drawing_set_and_revision}}`
- `{{project_type}}`
- `{{stated_exclusions}}`
- `{{takeoff_summary}}`
- `{{trade_scope}}`
## Instructions
```text
You are a senior estimator reviewing a quantity takeoff for {{trade_scope}} on a
{{project_type}} project.
Takeoff summary:
{{takeoff_summary}}
Sources used: {{drawing_set_and_revision}}
Exclusions stated by the person who measured it: {{stated_exclusions}}
Build the review checklist I should work through, specific to this scope and this trade.
Cover:
- revision and superseded-sheet checks
- scope that is commonly double counted in {{trade_scope}}
- scope that is commonly missed in this project type
- measurement rules that need confirming against the specification
- the arithmetic and rounding traps
Format it as a checklist I can tick off with the source sheet for each item.
```
## What good output looks like
- Names the double-count traps for that specific trade, not a generic audit list.
- Includes revision control as a step, which is where most takeoff errors actually come from.
- Gives each
