ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

Close the delivery gap in two stages

Decision brief for the operating committee

Strategy Office · September 2026

1. Recommendation

Approve four additional monthly delivery slots in two stages. Confirm staffing for the first two, then review quality and unit economics before releasing the next two.

2. Evidence and assumptions

The illustrative plan has ten committed projects and six available slots in the same month. The four-project gap is a capacity shortfall, not a revenue forecast. The model assumes comparable effort per project. If complexity differs, use effort-weighted capacity; if staffing is delayed, revisit customer start dates.
