Typical Grey Funnel to have thought you invented the problem, Tom!

I did mean to include above that I thought there would be value in developing a simple list of the detail to politely add to the outline at the point the managers building team get hold of it (which would probably be after the brokers had sounded out the market with an outline, outline).

A job done once. The boss, the late great T D underwood, claimed the only thing he would sack for was 're-work' the poison of commerce. I am not sure he ever did but that initial stage of specification review was very much an offender.

Sadly this has little to do with providing GB yards with a market merely outlines how the industry might improve its servicing of it if it had one. Although most of the things on my recommendations list would result in less ship rather than more (not necessarily so for those of the Steel man or engineers) were they to get their just credit I am sure it would not bring the product price much close to the Far East's.
