Danish term or phrase: bud på betydningen
Hi - I would like to verify this particular use of bud - rather than the normal "offer" this seems to be closer to "guess" or "estimate". Am I on the right track. It's clear from the text that this has nothing to do with submitting a tender, etc., rather it has to do with determining initiatives based on policy. It appears as below. Thanks for your help!

Ved at analysere forskellige scenarier er det muligt at komme med et første tilnærmet bud på betydningen af den nyligt indgåede klimaaftale.

Der er tale om et tidligt og bedste bud på baggrund af nuværende mål og scenarier.

disagree  Michael Davies: I wouldn't use guesstimate in this case. Guesstimate is more in the sense of a preliminary estimation (of price, quantity, etc.).
