Who it's for
Eyeballing the cost of an activity from a resource list is easy to get wrong — adding up dozens of lines of labor, materials, and equipment by hand invites mistakes, and it's not always clear where the cost is really concentrated.
The skill calculates the cost of each resource, groups it by type (labor, materials, equipment) with its percentage weight, and if you give it an assigned budget, calculates the variance in amount and percentage. It also flags the 3 resources with the largest share of the total, so you know what to watch if prices move.

How to put it to work on a real project
The idea isn't to download another file and forget it in a folder. Use it with a specific case: a pending certificate, a coordination meeting, a cost overrun or a handover to the developer. Fill in the resource with real data from your project, validate the result with your own technical judgment, and keep it as an internal reference to repeat the process next time.
