## Accuracy And Timing Guidance
- Tectonic is built for estimator-reviewed bidding workflows.
- Analysis time varies by page count, drawing quality, trade scope, and project complexity.
- Larger comprehensive plan sets can take longer because Tectonic uses multi-step server-side conversion, extraction, pricing, and review checks.
- Contractors should review quantities, assumptions, exclusions, and final pricing before submitting bids.

## Do Not Claim
- Do not claim guaranteed perfect accuracy.
- Do not claim every plan finishes in exactly two minutes.
- Do not claim Tectonic replaces licensed estimator or contractor review.
- Do not claim a public partner API exists unless Tectonic publishes one.
- Do not claim unsupported third-party integrations are generally available.
