Measuring progress must be in units meaningful to the decision maker. For any system, estimates of future life-cycle costs are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. This bounding of the cost estimate may be attempted through sensitivity analyses or through a formal quantitative risk analysis.

What is an estimate? An estimate as a noun is an approximate calculation or judgment of the value, number, quantity, or extent of something. An estimate as a verb is to roughly calculate or judge the value, number, quantity, or extent of. But those estimates, nouns, and verbs themselves's have other attributes.
