Why it Matters?

Different methods applied to identical facts produce materially different allocations, which is why method selection is contested before the analysis is even examined. Windows analysis using contemporaneous updates is preferred because it reflects what the parties understood at the time rather than a retrospective reconstruction. Absence of schedule updates forces less reliable methods and disadvantages whichever party bears the burden.
