Mech Est13:47 ET
Rehearsal scenarioE31634 stands at 2 published addenda. There is no Addendum 3. The detection mechanism below is real — a change in the agency’s published addendum count is a retrievable signal. The change described is supplied, not retrieved: MTA serves addendum documents behind a plan-holder form, so MechEst can prove an addendum exists and when, but cannot read what it says.

Addendum 3 — work window

MTA Construction & Development · E31634 · issued 13:41 ET · detected 13:46:22 ET

Addenda
2 → 3

4 lines stale, 2 not carried at all — each depended on the unoccupied, continuous-window assumption.

Frozen: labor basis, schedule assumptions.
Nothing downstream of these assumptions advances until a named human releases them. Any approval already given on this packet is void, not merely stale.
Classified material because
  • Basis change. Does it change an assumption the estimate rests on — work window, access, occupancy, phasing, or the labor basis?
  • Scope change. Does it add, remove, or re-draw work — quantities, equipment, or systems?
Detection: Published addendum count moved 2 → 3 on the agency’s own index. Deterministic delta, no model involved.
Substance: Supplied for rehearsal — not retrieved from the addendum document
