PRE-YARD ALIGNMENT REVIEW
A focused engagement conducted prior to yard entry to ensure scope, cost, and decision structures are aligned before execution begins.
OVERVIEW
Most issues encountered during refit are not created in the yard.
They are carried into it.
Unclear scope, misaligned expectations, and undefined decision flow often only become visible once the project is already underway.
At that point, changes become expensive and difficult to control.
WHY THIS MATTERS
This engagement strengthens the project before execution not the team responsible for delivering it.
USAGE
-Defined scope vs actual intent
-Gaps, assumptions, and missing detail
-Cost exposure prior to commitment
-Decision flow and approval structure
-Alignment between owner, captain, and yard
