Rework
01 / 05The inspection failed. The next stage was already built on top of it.
The failed result reaches the person who can stop the next stage the day it lands, with the close-out date attached.
What Demiton prevents
The overrun that never happens.
If your business runs jobs through contracts, crews, equipment and compliance, the same five things take the margin. They don't change between a road, a fit-out and a mine site. Only the paperwork does.
None of them is one big mistake. Each is a small miss that nobody saw in time, in a record that already existed.
Missed claims
02 / 05The extra work was real, or it rained for four days. Both notices went in late.
When the instruction arrives or the rain starts, the clock starts. The notice is drafted and waiting before the window shuts, while the ground is still wet.
Disputes
03 / 05It went to a lawyer, and the record for that week is empty.
If the day's record isn't in by evening, you're told which one is missing while people still remember the day.
Cost drift
04 / 05Nobody saw the job drift until the final account.
Drift against the price you quoted is flagged at $50K, not $5M.
Lapsed compliance
05 / 05The insurance lapsed the week the client checked.
Every expiry counts down at 90, 30 and 7 days, with the renewal attached.
The cures roll out one disease at a time, starting with lapsed compliance. Until each is live, the facts it runs on land in your registers, one question away in Claude or ChatGPT.
Your systems stay where they are. Demiton reads them.
What each one costs, and where it is caught.
Published research measures what three of the five cost. We say which is which, on every figure, and cite the source.
- What the five diseases cost a $5 million job - every figure worked through one job, with its source and its confidence.
- Each disease and the registers that watch for it - what those registers hold today, in the documentation.
- Why they are ordered this way - the evidence behind the priority, disease by disease.
- What it costs to put a job under protection - every plan gets all five cures; you pay for how much work is covered.
