Buzzword Compliance

Some buzzwords from my company:

Bottom-Up Analysis: to gather identical information from multiple people and then aggregate it into an over-all number.

Interlock: to make sure that the assumptions you make and the numbers you use are agreed to by other people, to make sure that they're making the same assumptions and using the same numbers.

Tower: a group of people and their functions that are roughly all in the same area and produce the same kind of output.

Cross-tower: someone who talks to the towers and keeps them and their assumptions in synch with each other.

Gap analysis: Evaluation of the difference between what you said and assumed then versus what you say and assume now, and the reason for any differences.
