Cause-and-effect analysis should be a core feature of FIDIC claims training. The College of Contract Management covers claims, contractual responsibilities, and dispute procedures across FIDIC forms. Claims literature repeatedly separates occurrence from consequence because the existence of a contractual event does not automatically prove cost or delay. Programme, labour, and procurement records can help establish the chain. The deeper issue arises where impact appears indirectly several activities later rather than immediately after the triggering event.
