How stage-gate readiness is built, verified, and decided - and the reasoning behind each piece.
Concept, design, procurement, installation, commissioning, handover. Every project is a row of gate nodes you can read across a room.
The starter set covers the reliability work that dies quietly on most projects - maintainability reviews, pipe strain, first fills, spares lead times - and every line is the organization's to change.
A project snapshots the checklist the day it is registered, so editing the standard never rewrites a project already in flight.
An item left open at a passed gate follows the project as red debt. Moving on is not the same as finishing.
Criticality approved, strategy approved, lube points defined, spares listed, punch list clear - checked live against the suite's own records. Nobody can attest what the software can see.
A verified item names its source; an attested item names its person and evidence. Both can be complete - the page never blurs who says so.
Red for late or carried-over items, amber for open work or standing exceptions, green only when everything is satisfied. Zero items is "no checklist", never green.
If the source module is not run here, the item falls back to human attestation and says so - it does not quietly pass.
Who decided, when, the note, and a snapshot of the evidence at that moment. The pass button stays down while items stand open.
A gap that passes a gate carries a reason, an approver, and a date - and keeps the project amber until it closes.
A is safety, B blocks startup, C is minor. The handover check reads exactly the first two.
Options compared on lifetime arithmetic over the project's own figures. No discount model, no recommendation - the decision stays the project's.
The new machines join the shared registry while the equipment is on a truck, so every other module can start its work early.
The same assessments and strategies the rest of the plant runs, approved before first turn - not written in the first year of surprises.
Points, products, and schedules live before commissioning ends, so the first service is already on a route.
Ask which projects are red, what blocks a gate, or how much capital sits at risk - with links to the records.
The demo plant has this module switched on, with records already in it.
