Clarification turnaround
Time from a detected conflict to an approved answer.
Find conflicting requirements before they reach the quote.
A material grade changes in one revision. The duty point conflicts with the data sheet. The customer assumes an option the quote excludes. Bourne compares the documents, finds those conflicts and sends engineering a short list of questions instead of another folder to read.

A conflict in the specification becomes a promise if nobody stops it.
Customer requirements rarely agree perfectly across the inquiry, drawings, data sheets and later emails. Engineers lose time finding the conflict, tracing the latest revision and asking a question the customer can answer.
Bourne prepares that work. It links every question to the source, records the approved answer and carries the effect into configuration, cost and the proposal.
The drawing and specification call for different materials.
- 01
Compare
Bourne reads the revised specification against the issued drawing set.
- 02
Locate
It marks the 316L requirement and the conflicting 304 callout.
- 03
Draft
It prepares one precise question with the page, section and drawing reference.
- 04
Approve
Engineering reviews the question before it reaches the buyer.
- 05
Carry forward
The approved answer changes the material line in configuration and costing.
What should improve
Questions reopened
Clarifications that return because the first question or answer was incomplete.
Late requirement changes
Requirement conflicts found after pricing or order acceptance.
Frequently asked questions
Can Bourne interpret drawings and specifications?
Bourne can extract and compare information from drawings, specifications, data sheets and correspondence. Your engineers approve the technical conclusion when the evidence requires judgment.
How do approved answers reach the proposal?
The workflow links each approved clarification to the requirement and carries the resulting scope, exception or assumption into the commercial package.
What does Bourne need before it can run technical clarification?
We start with a live technical clarification case, the source files your team used, the systems they checked and the final result. That gives us the real work, including the exceptions that a process diagram misses.
What happens when information is missing or contradictory?
Bourne does not fill the gap with a guess. It shows the missing or conflicting source, asks the right owner for a decision and keeps that answer with the case so the same question does not have to be solved again.
Can our team see why Bourne made a recommendation?
Yes. Each recommendation links back to the files, records, rules and prior decisions that support it. Your team can inspect the evidence before approving the next step.
Do we have to change the whole process at once?
No. We start with one workflow, one team and real customer work. Once it performs reliably, we connect the next step in the customer lifecycle.
