## For `lfo-precedent-finder`

Strong-match signals:
- HC = Ford Civil Pty Ltd
- Site type = transport depot (bus depot — likely brownfield works, government client, after-hours/weekend constraints around active depot operations)
- Scope items = carpentry
- Design maturity = n/a (day-labour mode)
- Site postcode region = 2044 (inner-west Sydney; ~7 km SW of CBD)

Weak-match signals (extract on deep-pass if precedent fires):
- Final submitted total ex GST — n/a (day-labour open-ended)
- Specific complexity factors — government-asset access constraints, possible asbestos/contamination procedures, after-hours work
- LAFHA decision — OUT certain (Sydenham well within Sydney metro; ~10 min from Botany)
- Adverse weather posture — n/a (day-labour)
- Site exposure category — non-coastal urban; brownfield government infra

## Open follow-ups

1. Confirm end-client = TfNSW (or which Ford Civil head contract this sits under).
2. Capture if there are constraints typical of government transport assets (contractor inductions, security clearances, restricted hours).
3. Pull `Ford Civil - Sydenham Bus Depot.xlsx` man-hours when richer extraction needed.
4. Determine scope type — refurb / new-build / depot expansion?
