Step 5 of the five-step estimate is the one candidates skip when time is short. That is a mistake. The check does two jobs: it catches errors that would sink the answer, and it shows the judgment interviewers are scoring. A candidate who says "that looks too high, let me see why" earns more credit than one who never notices.
This lesson gives you five checks, the slips they catch, and a script for when the interviewer pushes back.
