Sir is on Phase 3 (Theme Confirmation). Theme Confirmation Report in 31-46 days. Final Report-Out in 123-137 days. Final Submission 11 Dec 2026. Certification Jan 2027. dQMS project paper = MDP project deliverable. Scoring 0-3 on Business Perspective, People Development, Attitude. Target 3/3/3.
Critical risk (this week): Sir's #1 TBP failure mode = stopping 5-Whys at Q2-3 + blaming operator. Theme will fail Theme Confirmation if not addressed. MUST land on process/system cause (QMS gate, not operator).
Critical path to Theme Confirmation (16-31 Jul): Fill real ASSB data (QMS system, paper traveler %, IATF 4 majors) + 1 gemba walk (paperless traveler station) + build 1-page theme slide + rehearse 10 min pitch 3x. All by 12 Jul.
