How conflicts actually happen
in Construction

These diagrams show the relationship patterns ConflictCheck is designed to detect β€” before they become legal or financial crises.

The Kickback Triangle
A manager routes contracts to a secretly owned vendor, who pays kickbacks back. The owner pays inflated prices and never knows.

Documented Scenarios

These aren't hypotheticals.
They happen every day.

🚨
The GC-Sub Relationship
A general contractor secretly owns a 30% stake in the electrical subcontractor they award every project to, routing above-market contracts to inflate both companies' margins at the owner's expense.
🚨
The Spec Writer
An architect specifies a proprietary product from a manufacturer who pays them an advisory fee, locking the project into a sole-source specification.
🚨
The Change Order Racket
A PM deliberately omits scope items from the initial bid to secure the contract, then monetizes them through a systematic change order campaign.
How It Works

Systematic protection,
not one-time audits.
