Seems there is still some confusion (intentional or accidental) about the Cone of Uncertainty and its purpose and its use in software development. The Cone does NOT need data to validate the principle of reducing unc as the program progresses. That is an Immutable Principle of good project management. This letter states.

In this paper, there is data that does not follow the Cone of Uncertainty, in that the uncertainty of the estimates does not reduce as the project proceeds. While the data supports some aspects of the cone of uncertainty, it doesn’t support the most common conclusion that uncertainty significantly decreases as the project progresses.

If the actual data is outside the Cone of Uncertainty, then the project was subject to some cause. If we have models, informed by empirical data, that out risk-adjusted cost and schedule is credible, then we're late, over budget, and the deliverables won't likely meet our needs on day one. Four sample causes are shown below. .
