What the audit catches
Not another checklist.
We translate the documents into a financial-risk review. Your project manager sees the few actions that can still prevent a charge, delay or rejected order - with the original rule beside every finding.
Missing dependencies
Required layouts, payment authorization, labor forms, measurements, orientations and order-to-drawing mismatches.
Operational assumptions
Power schedules, exclusive-provider rules, material handling, pickup requirements and services excluded from base rates.
Simple by design
A second set of eyes before money moves.
CostCliff does not replace your project-management system or make show-site decisions. It gives your team a fast, reviewable exception list while there is still time to act.

Quick economics
What can one missed deadline cost?
Use the public electrical rates in the illustrative sample. This is not a savings promise; it shows why a narrow preflight can pay for itself with one caught item.
Illustrative advance-rate difference$392
Based on the cited public form: $96 per 1,000W outlet and $296 per 20A three-phase service.
Before you request
Clear terms, no implementation.
The pilot is a one-time document preflight. It does not require software installation, an annual contract or access to your project-management system.
What should we provide?
The exhibitor service kit, booth plan and current show-service order documents. Include shipping assumptions or known requirements when relevant.
When does the clock start?
The two-business-day target starts after the $199 payment clears and all agreed documents are available.
How do we pay?
After we confirm the audit scope, you receive a USD invoice with a secure Wise payment link. No subscription or automatic renewal.
How are documents handled?
Documents are used only for the requested audit. You may redact client names, and we agree the transfer and deletion method before payment.
