Chapter 2. Redline reads it · Step 3 of 15

Confirm what it read

Before it reviews anything, Redline shows you the facts it pulled out of the contract: the price, retainage, payment terms, liquidated damages, insurance limits and more, each with the page it came from. You confirm or correct them. From that moment your answer is the one every check uses.

Why this screen exists

A review is only as good as the facts under it

1
Every value carries its page
So checking it takes seconds: look at page 2, see 10%, press Confirm. A value Redline is less sure of is marked "Check this one".
2
Your correction controls every layer
Correct the retainage or an insurance limit and the insurance check, the law layer and the proposal comparison all use your number, not the one the document seemed to say.
3
Nothing unconfirmed becomes money
The exposure figures only ever use confirmed facts. If you skip a fact, Redline says what it couldn't compute instead of assuming.

Customers asked for this after real use: one corrected an insurance limit and a retainage rate on this screen, and the review had to honor both everywhere. It does, and a regression test holds it there.
