See what the work asks.
Keep time, cost and your own measures connected to the process. Follow a figure back to the work and assumptions behind it.
The figures belong to the work.
Fit-up, tack and weld the frame once the hinges are in.

In the complete Northline example, eight authored contributions add up to CAD $1,070 per gate.
Are we spending effort, or waiting?
A gate can wait for finishing while nobody is working on it. Effort describes resource work. Duration and delay help describe elapsed time. Keeping them distinct changes the conversation.
Numbers with somewhere to belong.
Add costs and measures where the work happens. Inspect inputs, outputs and recurring commitments across the periods relevant to your plan.
Useful estimates. Visible assumptions.
These figures describe the plan you entered. They are directional estimates, not accounting actuals. Missing information needs attention before treating a total as the whole picture.
