LARRY Runs
100+ independent criteria fire across all 8 categoriessimultaneously. Not keywords — synonyms, intent, variations. Four minutes.
Review Findings
Every finding cites the exact page, section, and spec number. Trust but verify— click, read it yourself, make the call.
Retention Tied to Warranty Expiration
Retention isn’t released at substantial completion. It’s held until the warranty period expires — your money sitting in someone else’s account.
Full-Time Safety Representative Required
Dedicated safety rep required on-site. Six-figure line item hiding in General Requirements — a section most estimators skip.
Attic Stock Discrepancy — 2% vs 10%
Spec calls for 2% attic stock in one section and 10% in another. Same material, two different numbers. That’s an argument in the field.
Prevailing Wage Documentation
Prevailing wage rates apply with certified payroll required weekly. Filing requirements identified and flagged for estimating team.
Eight arms. Eight categories.
Each one runs independently. Each finding cites the exact page.
Go / No-Go Determinants
Should you even bid this?
Project Labor Agreement required. Open-shop contractors need not apply. Buried on page 4 of the supplementary conditions — not in the invitation to bid.
Commercial & Contract Risk
What kills profitability after you win?
Retention isn’t released at substantial completion. It’s held until the warranty period expires. Your money sitting in someone else’s account for months — maybe years — after you’ve finished the work.
Scope & Technical Risk
What’s going to blow up your number?
Spec calls for 2% attic stock in one section and 10% in another. Same material. Two different numbers. That’s an argument in the field nobody wants to have after the job is awarded.
Non-Scope Cost Drivers
What’s not in your scope but is in your cost?
Full-time dedicated safety representative required. Not in your scope, but it’s in General Requirements. Six-figure line item hiding in a section most estimators skip.
Compliance
What triggers a penalty you didn’t see coming?
Prevailing wage rates apply — certified payroll documentation required weekly. Miss a filing and your payment is held. Common on government work, but this was a private project.
Schedule & Logistics
Does the timeline even work?
Substantial completion date leaves 14 weeks for a scope that typically takes 20. No phasing plan provided. You’re bidding a schedule that doesn’t work — and you won’t know until you’re committed.
Project Types
What’s different about this one?
Data center project with Tier III uptime requirements. Commissioning protocols, clean-room installation standards, and vibration tolerances that don’t exist on a typical commercial build.
Stakeholder Risk
Who are you doing business with?
This GC has used a non-standard subcontract on the last three projects you’ve bid with them. Pay-when-paid clause, 120-day payment terms, no retainage cap. Pattern, not a one-off.
Arms 1–7 read your bid package. Arm 8reads your experience — bid history, GC patterns, project outcomes.
Every criterion is built by someone who got burned.
Estimators who missed a cost driver. Attorneys who saw a contract trap. Project managers who inherited a mess.
The library is composable. Division 09 gets different criteria than Division 15. Government projects get different criteria than private.

LARRY doesn’t just flag risks — it synthesizes them.
After running your bid package, you get an executive brief: the go/no-go summary, the deal killers, the cost drivers, the open questions. One document your principal can read in 5 minutes instead of 500 pages.
