Steinlog01 — Changes & addenda
The addendum is
where bids are lost.
The first read of a tender is rarely the problem. The danger is the clarification round: a revised piling spec buried on page 40, a submission date moved inside a footnote, a new certificate required three days before close. Miss one and the bid is non-conforming.
The pattern we built for
On a large NL tender it is normal to receive three to six addenda, the last of them in the final week. Each one can change what you must submit — and quietly reset your plan.
Steinlog reads every version so a change on page 40 can't hide.
Addendum at 16:40. New plan by 16:41.
Every change found,
mapped, and owned.
When an addendum or a clarification answer arrives, Steinlog diffs it against the version it replaces — text and tables — then checks each change against your draft sections and open tasks. What it finds becomes work, assigned to a name, with the source page attached.
Table-aware diff
Not “something changed”.
This clause, this cell.
A word-level diff isn't enough when the change is a number in a bill of quantities or a value in a requirements table. Steinlog compares structure, so a moved row or an edited unit rate surfaces as precisely as an edited sentence.

What the assistant does not do
It flags and drafts.
You decide.
The assistant is useful precisely because its limits are hard. It reads, compares and suggests — and every suggestion carries the pages it came from. It never crosses into the work only your team is accountable for.
