Question 1. In what activity belonging to contract administration is an observation made to confirm or controvert a hypothesis, and a prediction made based on the difference between an expectation and a measurement? Explain your answer.
Question 2. To what development in history, and to which specific individual innovator(s), are contract managers indebted for the invention of contract administration as applied science? [Hint: question draws on original thought and/or research and does not draw on course materials. Note that contract administration is more than just happening to compare the contract with its performance, but a systematic monitoring of that variation, and that we are looking for a method that could qualify as an application of science. ]
Answer should be a paragraph each.
