Indicator C4 — Schedule / Date Inconsistencies

AI-verified / Na-verify ng AI Data as of October 21, 2026

Schedule / Date Inconsistencies

Completion before start, implausible duration for cost, or future dates marked complete.

This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.

Indicator: contract 25OE0041 (₱47.32M) is recorded as completed in 49 days against 49 planned; similar-cost projects take a median of 239 days, putting it in the fastest 0.8%. This could be due to unusually efficient work, pre-fabrication, or overestimated durations in similar projects.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.98

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4

Checked: October 22, 2026

The project was completed in 49 days for a ₱47.32M contract, which is much faster than the median of 239 days for similar-cost projects, placing it in the fastest 0.8%. All relevant figures and record links are present, and the anomaly is clear and checkable. Innocent explanations (e.g., unusually efficient work, pre-fabrication, or overestimated peer durations) are plausible but do not negate the anomaly.
