Write down kits, consumables, assessments, travel, living costs and other possible expenses. Mark each item confirmed, estimated or unanswered. Ask before treating a cost as absent, and retain the quote or policy that explains it. An example category is not an allegation that a provider hides charges.

02

Questions to take forward

  • Which costs are missing from my comparison?
  • Which items are compulsory?
  • Where is the written explanation?
03

Evidence before a decision

Keep the source, date, scope and your actual question together. Confirm provider, employer and issuing-body terms with their responsible source. Separate your own estimates from documented facts and do not treat an empty answer as proof.
