Sample report · Capital Project Oversight
We re-derived a published figure from the public record.
We gave SectorPrompts only the Denver VA hospital's initial budget and the documented scope growth from a public GAO report — and withheld the cost-growth percentage and the final price tag. It came back with a 427% cost increase on a $1.73 billion project, matching GAO's published table exactly — the headline figures reconciled to GAO's own numbers.
The situation
A megaproject blow-out, turned into a defensible oversight report.
A congressional oversight committee or agency inspector general needs a megaproject's cost blow-out turned into a clean, defensible report. The Denver VA hospital in Aurora, Colorado is the textbook case — the U.S. Government Accountability Office documented it in detail.
We used it as a reconcile test: feed the public inputs, withhold the answer, and see whether the report re-derives the auditor's published number from those inputs alone.
What we supplied
Only public inputs — each one sourced.
We typed in the numbers a human would pull straight off the GAO report. We deliberately omitted the cost-growth percentage and the revised total, so the app had to derive them.
| Input | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Asset class | Vertical building (institutional hospital) | Denver VA Medical Center |
| Delivery method | Integrated design & construction | VA's stated delivery method |
| Oversight concern | Cost overrun & forecast at completion | — |
| Initial contract value | $328,000,000 | GAO Table 1 (2004 baseline) |
| Documented scope / change-order growth | $1,402,000,000 | GAO Table 1 (current − initial) |

Reconcile
Our output vs. the published figures.
| Metric | Published | Ours (computed) | Match | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost-growth % | 427% | 427.4% (1,402M ÷ 328M) | ✓ exact | Withheld from the app — it derived it |
| Revised total estimate | $1.73 billion | $1,730,000,000 | ✓ exact | Derived: initial + change orders |
| Initial estimate | $328M | $328,000,000 | ✓ | Carried through |
Earned-value figures (CPI, SPI, forecast-at-completion) are modeled estimates, clearly labeled in the report and kept distinct from the reconciled cost-growth figure — GAO doesn't publish raw earned-value data. The cost growth is the hard reconcile, and it's exact.
