Do not blame vendor cycle time for approval or readiness delays.
Surface units crossing stage-specific thresholds.

How to use it

Do not complete this from memory in a conference room. Pull up one active or recently completed record and test the checklist against what actually happened. Any item that repeatedly needs a text, a side spreadsheet, or an owner stepping in is a candidate for workflow redesign.
