Quantum and EoT Methodologies

The methods, the evidence, and the standards tribunals actually accept on time and money.

About the course

Full-day technical session on quantum methodology and EoT analysis as it actually plays out in DAAB, adjudication and arbitration. The SCL Protocol, the AACE recommended practices, and what a tribunal expects when the report lands.
