Measure earned value, not activity – focus on how much contract value has actually been earned against the approved scope and program
Use reliable, aligned inputs – EV depends on a consistent program, quantities, valuation rules, cost records and reporting cut-off dates
Strengthen progress claim assessment – reconcile claimed percentages with measured quantities, physical completion and supporting records
Use EV to test causation – compare performance before, during and after an alleged delay or disruption event to separate entitlement from existing inefficiency
Challenge recovery with evidence – compare future production assumptions with demonstrated productivity, actual resources, access, permits and constraints
Keep EV and entitlement separate – EV identifies trends and risks, but doesn't replace contract clauses, critical path analysis or formal entitlement assessment
