Why log an exception instead of fixing it by hand?
A manual patch hides the failure, so the pilot looks better than it is and phase two is priced on that. A logged exception shows the true coverage.
Who decides whether an exception changes the phase two estimate?
The lead consultant recommends it from the pattern, and the client sponsor sees it before any second phase is priced.
