quantification procedure

Turkish: Sayisallastirma Proseduru (Quantification Procedure)

English Definition

A procedure that converts a magnitude, whether damage, risk exposure, work quantity or expected loss, into a numerical value by a defined method, fixing inputs, assumptions and calculation steps in advance so the result is reproducible. Agreeing the procedure beforehand reduces uncertainty by ensuring that, in a dispute, the parties argue over method rather than figure; in project contracts defining step by step how liquidated damages are computed largely neutralises the later argument over which base applies.
