Every item matched, gaps flagged, shortfall totalled.

Headline result: On the client’s documents the shortfall was £26,208. The worked example on this page shows a £6,850 shortfall, plus £4,200 claimed but not in the priced works.

## What did the client ask for?

An Asset Management Director at a Scottish property investment company wrote:

> I am trying to understand what items appear on the dilapidations schedule and the spreadsheet to understand what our shortfall is. I haven’t even tried to ask AI to do this yet.

In a single session, the Skill matched the two documents and found a £26,208 shortfall.

## What did the check find?

- The dilapidations claim totals £22,900 and the priced works total £25,550.
- Gutters, cladding, steelwork and the yard are matched, with gaps of £250, £1,500, £500 and £2,300.
- The roller shutter door is on the claim for £4,200 and is not in the priced works.
- A new drainage gully of £2,300 is in the priced works and not on the claim.
