This is an internal working schedule, not a legal timetable. In the first week confirm people, records and open issues. In the second, reconcile the baseline and cost schedule.

If an external deadline falls earlier, the adviser should redesign the sequence. If no decision is time-sensitive, do not invent urgency to justify a purchase.
