SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The OT cost analysis workflow provides structured, milestone-based should-cost estimates and price reasonableness assessments for government OT programs, including labor benchmarking, cost-sharing planning, and funding profiles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Milestone-based should-cost construction using labor benchmarking (BLS OEWS), market data (GSA CALC+), and per diem rates to establish credible government obligations.
  • Cost-sharing modeling aligned with 10 USC 4022, including traditional, NDC, consortium, and in-kind arrangements, with per-milestone allocations.
  • End-to-end orchestration from OT project or prototype description through final cost workbook, including scenario analysis and a price reasonableness memo.

Quick Start

Provide an OT project description and milestone table to generate a ready-to-use cost analysis workbook.

Frequently Asked Questions about ot-cost-analysis

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a should-cost estimate for an Other Transaction agreement?▼

You can build a should-cost estimate by providing an OT project description and milestone table, which the system uses with BLS OEWS and GSA CALC+ data to generate a per-milestone cost workbook.

What data sources are used for OT price reasonableness analysis?▼

Price reasonableness analysis uses BLS OEWS, GSA CALC+, and per diem rates to benchmark labor and travel costs, producing a multi-sheet workbook with per-milestone cost builds and a reasonableness memo.

Can I model cost-sharing arrangements under 10 USC 4022?▼

Yes, cost-sharing under 10 USC 4022 can be modeled across traditional, NDC, consortium, and in-kind arrangements, with per-milestone allocations included in the generated cost workbook.

How do I generate a milestone-based funding profile for a prototype project?▼

A milestone-based funding profile is generated from the project description and milestone table, producing a multi-sheet workbook with per-milestone cost builds and scenario analyses.

Does this approach support scenario analysis for OT agreement cost estimates?▼

Yes, scenario analysis is supported end-to-end, producing a multi-sheet workbook that compares per-milestone cost builds and cost-sharing models alongside a price reasonableness memo.

What inputs do I need to start an independent cost estimation for an OT project?▼

An OT project description and milestone table are required as inputs to generate the cost analysis workbook with per-milestone builds and a price reasonableness memo.
