Opportunity, not yet pipeline
This register is separate from the £482k variation pipeline. It records £224k of potential gross additional value surfaced from site records, not an agreed claim, net margin or collected cash. Every line needs a commercial reviewer to check notices, entitlement, valuation and costs before submission; agreement, billing and payment are later steps.
The Cockpit reads site records, verbal instructions logged on site, and email correspondence against the contract scope, and flags work that appears to sit outside the agreed price. A commercial reviewer confirms each before it moves to the pipeline.
The unclaimed opportunity register
Estimated opportunities and site-evidence ratings, not confidence of contractual recovery. Cathedral's £42.6k and £25.2k package allocations are unreconciled with the Scope Compliance Report's item rows; the same £67.8k is not additional exposure. Preserve the provisional labels pending owner reconciliation.

Converting opportunity into pipeline
Strong, Medium and To verify describe the reported site evidence. All lines need the review above; Strong does not establish entitlement, submission readiness or agreement. Cathedral's package allocation must also be reconciled.
Prioritise commercial review of the £112k Strong and £57k Medium estimates, and verify the £55k balance. Submit only approved lines within applicable contract requirements. These gross estimates do not establish recoverable net margin or guaranteed collection.
The conversion plan
Owners and target dates are review objectives, not assurance that a variation will be accepted. Check each line's contractual requirements and supporting value before adding it to the pipeline.

| 8 opportunities | £224k | by 23 May | |
The £224k total is provisional. The applicable notice dates and consequences must be checked against each contract; no universal expiry rule or established entitlement is supplied. Site evidence alone does not prove recovery, net benefit or payment.
Target review of the strongest £112k inside a fortnight; submission remains conditional on approval and the Cathedral allocation reconciliation.
