RC8.3
Field Claims Hardened
Made the field-to-cash loop explicit: actuals, cost records, claims, approvals, retainage, payment lag, cash exposure, and executive action.
RC8.4 keeps the operational field-claims proof and restores the polished Cockpit Classic story as a second narrative path. Both stories lead to the same controlled source chain: model, quantity, schedule, cost, actuals, claims, payment, cash, and executive action.

What it is not
RC8.4 Startup Selector
The attached version’s strongest addition is a dual-story front door. Field Claims proves the operating loop; Cockpit Classic explains the model-to-controls vision.
Story 1 · Operational proof
The contractor operating story: model geometry becomes field reports, actual cost records, earned value, claims, approvals, retainage, payment lag, and action gates.
Open Field Claims StoryStory 2 · Cockpit classic
The restored Cockpit Classic story: Section & Spine visual identity, discipline dialects, live engine preview, synthesis pipeline, and launch bay language.
Open Cockpit StoryProgression
The public site now has a comparison path: RC8.3 for the direct field-to-cash command workbench and RC8.4 for the dual-story cockpit wrapper around the same operating proof.
RC8.3
Made the field-to-cash loop explicit: actuals, cost records, claims, approvals, retainage, payment lag, cash exposure, and executive action.
RC8.4
Adds a startup selector so the audience can choose between operational proof and the polished Cockpit Classic narrative.
Public route
Publishes the narrative structure and synthetic workbench behavior without raw HTML, exact coordinates, private formulas, or source records.
Story 1 · Operational Proof
This path is built for contractor leadership: show how the same source record moves from installed quantity to actual cost, claim, approval, payment lag, cash, and action.

Story 2 · Cockpit Classic
This story restores the strongest Cockpit Classic idea from RC8.4: the visual identity comes from utility construction itself, while the same source model feeds every discipline.
01 · The Spine
Sub-grade section, datum, station chainage, gravity profile, bedding, pipe, backfill, and brass survey accents create a subject-specific story instead of a generic dashboard.
02 · Live Engine
The cockpit reads the active estimate logic: cost basis, revenue/SOV, duration, labor hours, L/M/C/S/E split, top cost codes, and risk envelope.
03 · Six Dialects
BIM, QTO, project controls, field, commercial/claims, standards/QA, and executives receive the same source model in their working language.
04 · Launch Bay
Narrative buttons launch model, schedule/cashflow, actuals/claims, standards lens, control room, and capture-ready executive views.
Synthesis Pipeline
The dual-story version is not just a different opening screen. It adds a disciplined path for explaining, stress-testing, and hardening the public/private bridge.
01
A generic utility corridor object anchors geometry, quantities, activities, and record custody.
02
Stress-test quantities, cost codes, scenarios, payment timing, and public-safe boundaries.
03
Refine 3D/4D/GIS language without publishing raw coordinates, map dependencies, or private source context.
04
Pressure-check productivity, crew logic, actuals, claims, approval status, and payment lag.
05
Verify route hooks, scenario buttons, sample exports, disclaimers, and no-regression checks.
Launch Bay
The public route keeps the RC8.4 launch behavior as website navigation: every action goes to a reviewable, synthetic route section.
Run scenario, ground, and water-table choices against synthetic cost and schedule signals.
LaunchLoad the payment-lag posture and trace field completion through claims, approval, and cash receipt.
LaunchRead current condition, consequence, action owner, and forecast confidence from one source chain.
LaunchReview the source-to-public migration rule and the no-raw-HTML publication boundary.
LaunchLive Cockpit
Use the same public-safe workbench as the RC8.3 field-claims page. The difference is the RC8.4 narrative wrapper: choose the operational proof or Cockpit Classic path, then land on the same source chain.
Cockpit Decision Deck
Change the mode, ground condition, or water table. The sample bridge recomputes cost basis, schedule duration, labor hours, earned-value signals, and claim-to-cash exposure from deterministic representative records.

Actuals & Claims Studio
These are source-tagged representative records. They show the custody chain a contractor needs to keep visible before field completion, entitlement, approval, retainage, and cash timing get mixed together.
Field completion
81%
Accepted representative quantity for the review period.
FR-SYN-108 · stationed segment sample · source-tagged
Claim / approval
79% / 66%
Claimed quantity compared with approved quantity.
CL-SYN-022 · pay-item sample · retainage 10%
Cash receipt
44%
Payment lag sample: 38 days.
PMT-SYN-019 · demo payment state · not certification
Field quantity vs claim quantity
Claimed quantity stays tied to accepted field quantity before approval review.
Approved quantity vs cash received
Approval is ahead of payment; cash timing needs executive action.
Actuals freshness
Sample actuals are current for the representative review period.

Action Register
Discipline Translation
The Cockpit Classic story explains the vision; the Field Claims story proves the operational chain. Both are useful only if every discipline can read the same source truth.
Superintendent
Production, blockers, crews, weather, access, and inspections.
What field condition is driving the forecast and claim posture?
Estimator
LF, CY, structures, unit rates, labor hours, and productivity factors.
Which quantity or production assumption changed the cost basis?
Project manager
Schedule movement, change exposure, owner decisions, and action owners.
Which issue needs intervention before it becomes a permanent variance?
Contract administrator
Pay items, claimed quantity, approved quantity, retainage, and backup.
Which claim line lacks the field support or approval state needed for cash?
CFO / executive
Earned value, approved work, payment lag, net due, and cash timing.
Is the project operationally healthy but commercially starved for cash?
Capability Map
Each capability still maps to the same source custody chain. The selector changes how the room enters the demo, not which truth the system uses.
Did the quantity or production basis move?
Cost-code concentration, unit-rate pressure, and bid-to-forecast movement.
What is the governing constraint?
Access, crew, equipment, inspection, weather, rework, or sequence owner.
Is the schedule and earned-value story current?
PV / EV / AC relationship, CPI/SPI signal, EAC trend, and freshness warning.
Does claimed work reconcile to accepted field quantity?
Claim quantity, approved quantity, retainage, payment status, and support gap.
Is the project earning value but waiting on cash?
Approval lag, payment lag, net-due signal, retainage exposure, and cash action.
What changed and who owns the next move?
Operating condition, consequence, confidence, owner, deadline, and action register.
Publication QA
These checks are visible because the public page must prove the boundary as clearly as it proves the product story.
Raw RC8.4 HTML is not embedded, iframe-wrapped, copied, or shipped.
Exact source coordinates, agency/project identifiers, and private GIS context are excluded.
All visible metrics are deterministic representative indices, not payment certification.
No live ERP, schedule, BIM, GIS, accounting, or document-control write-back is claimed.
