Amount at Stake Profile

The amount at stake (A@S) also varies as the project progresses through its life span

But its profile is generally opposite to that of risk and opportunity
- For purposes of illustration, on the next page the A@S is shown representing the expenditure to date
- However, the worst case amount could be even more
In the project planning phases, the A@S is low
- Little has been spent
In the production phases the A@S rises rapidly
- To almost 100% on completion
- However, further costs could be incurred on account of latent defects discovered early in operations
