# SR079 — complete fictional inputs and filled project status report

Original educational material, created September 5, 2026. No customer data, real employees or measured OpenMax execution are represented. All times are UTC; USD amounts are illustrative management-reporting inputs supplied by a fictional financial owner, not an accounting recommendation. The complete short source records needed for this example appear below; there are no withheld underlying customer documents.

Report period: 2026-08-24T00:00Z through 2026-08-28T17:00Z. Status cutoff and knowledge cutoff: 2026-08-28T17:00Z. Edition 1 was prepared at 17:15, confirmed for release at 17:30 and issued at 17:45 on August 28. Post-cutoff administrative release confirmation does not add post-cutoff operational facts. The late issue claim at the end was not available for edition 1.

## S01 — approved baseline and reporting rules

Source owner: ProjectSponsor. Record B1, approved 2026-08-20T10:00Z; applicability reconfirmed by DeliveryLead on 2026-08-28T16:00Z. Project SR079 is an internal support-routing pilot for one internal team. The deliverable is a tested routing configuration, an operator handover and a separately accepted internal pilot. No external customer rollout is authorized. Approved finish: 2026-09-04T17:00Z. Approved budget: USD 12,000. Four mandatory acceptance milestones are defined in S03. B1 remains the current authorized baseline at cutoff. B2 is a proposal only, as S07 confirms. Role identifiers such as ProjectSponsor are fictional record keys, not real people.

Reporting-rule version RR1, approved by ProjectSponsor with B1. Schedule GREEN: supplied forecast no later than the approved finish and no identified unresolved acceptance/dependency threat. AMBER: finish date still held, but an unresolved acceptance/dependency threat exists. RED: forecast finish after approved deadline or mandatory acceptance not achieved by its deadline. UNKNOWN: evidence insufficient to make the applicable comparison. Calendar-day variance, not a work-calendar calculation.

Financial health requires owner-confirmed scope and posting coverage through cutoff; otherwise UNKNOWN. If coverage is confirmed, a forecast above approved budget is RED, an in-budget forecast with a documented unresolved material cost threat is AMBER, and an in-budget forecast without such a threat is GREEN. Do not derive GREEN from incomplete actuals. Risk and resource status is AMBER while the documented manageable uncertainties/capacity gap remain unresolved; RED if the responsible owner reports they make the approved delivery commitment unattainable without a sponsor decision. The schedule RED here has independent milestone evidence; it is not inferred from averaging risk scores.

Scope is GREEN while work and commitments remain within B1; an unapproved proposal by itself does not authorize or implement a scope change. Overall rule: known RED takes precedence; without RED, an applicable UNKNOWN takes precedence, then AMBER, then GREEN. Always display any unknown dimension even when overall status is RED. These are local fictional rules, not industry standards.

Recipients: ProjectSponsor, DeliveryLead, IntegrationLead, TestLead and FinanceOwner. No external recipients. DeliveryLead prepares and releases the report after checking the stated facts and exceptions with input owners. The original issued edition must remain identifiable if a correction follows; retain source material only under the organization's applicable retention policy. Do not execute project changes through this report.

## S02 — complete work-item snapshot

Owner: DeliveryLead. Export W1 at 2026-08-28T16:50Z; at the 17:00 cutoff, the owner confirms no intervening state change. T01–T08 were the eight opening commitments; T09–T10 were added during the window. No rows were cancelled or reopened. DONE means that task's stated work was finished, not that the linked milestone was accepted.

| ID | Task | Scope | Opening state | Cutoff state | Done time UTC | Owner | Linked milestone or blocker |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| T01 | Inventory internal routing labels | ORIGINAL | DONE | DONE | 2026-08-21T10:00Z | DeliveryLead | M1 |
| T02 | Prepare synthetic test fixtures | ORIGINAL | DONE | DONE | 2026-08-21T15:00Z | TestLead | M2 |
| T03 | Review and sign routing definitions | ORIGINAL | IN_PROGRESS | DONE | 2026-08-25T12:00Z | DeliveryLead | M1 |
| T04 | Execute six checks and record outcomes | ORIGINAL | TODO | DONE | 2026-08-28T14:00Z | TestLead | M2; execution done, one failed result I01 |
| T05 | Obtain corrected supplier mapping | ORIGINAL | TODO | BLOCKED | NONE | IntegrationLead | M2; I01 / DEP01 |
| T06 | Prepare operator handover notes | ORIGINAL | TODO | IN_PROGRESS | NONE | DeliveryLead | M3 |
| T07 | Prepare internal pilot checklist | ORIGINAL | TODO | IN_PROGRESS | NONE | TestLead | M4 |
| T08 | Conduct and accept internal pilot | ORIGINAL | TODO | TODO | NONE | DeliveryLead | M4 |
| T09 | Add missing synthetic fixture label | ADDED | NOT_IN_SCOPE | DONE | 2026-08-27T11:00Z | TestLead | M2; added 2026-08-26T09:00Z, within B1 scope |
| T10 | Obtain supplier correction evidence | ADDED | NOT_IN_SCOPE | BLOCKED | NONE | IntegrationLead | M2; added 2026-08-28T14:15Z, I01 / DEP01 |

The two additions are decomposition of existing acceptance work, not permission for external rollout or a baseline change. No effort weights or business-benefit measures are provided. Do not infer them.

## S03 — milestones, acceptance evidence and previous forecast

Owner: TestLead for acceptance evidence; DeliveryLead for forecast. Snapshot M1v1 was updated at 2026-08-28T16:40Z and confirmed unchanged at the 17:00 cutoff. All times below are UTC; each field contains its own explicit timestamp.

| ID | Acceptance condition / accepting owner | B1 deadline UTC | Current forecast UTC | Actual acceptance UTC | Status at cutoff | Dependency |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| M1 | Signed internal routing definitions / DeliveryLead | 2026-08-25T17:00Z | 2026-08-25T12:00Z | 2026-08-25T12:00Z | ACCEPTED | NONE |
| M2 | All six routing acceptance checks pass / TestLead | 2026-08-28T17:00Z | 2026-08-31T17:00Z | NONE | NOT_ACCEPTED | I01 / DEP01 |
| M3 | Operator handover accepted after M2 / DeliveryLead | 2026-09-01T17:00Z | 2026-09-02T17:00Z | NONE | NOT_ACCEPTED | M2 |
| M4 | Internal pilot checklist accepted after M3 / ProjectSponsor | 2026-09-04T17:00Z | 2026-09-07T17:00Z | NONE | NOT_ACCEPTED | M3 |

Complete short acceptance result for M2, run ATEST1 at 2026-08-28T14:00Z:

| Check | Required behavior | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| C01 | Standard request maps to the standard internal queue | PASS |
| C02 | Urgent request maps to the urgent internal queue | PASS |
| C03 | Missing label remains unclassified for review | PASS |
| C04 | Unknown label remains unclassified for review | PASS |
| C05 | Duplicate request is identified for review | PASS |
| C06 | Supplier-specific label maps to the designated internal queue | FAIL |

TestLead observation: C06 mapped to the wrong internal test queue. No external customer was involved. T04 required running the checks and recording both passes and failures; that task is complete. M2 requires six passes; it is not accepted. No rerun evidence exists in the frozen packet.

Previous-report comparison PR0, issued 2026-08-21T17:00Z: current approved baseline B1; M4 forecast 2026-09-04T17:00Z; accepted milestone count 0. No comparable earlier-period cost forecast or resource requirement is supplied, so do not invent a week-over-week cost or capacity trend.

The current M4 forecast assumes the dependency can be resolved in time for M2 on August 31 and then M3 on September 2. It is not an independently simulated critical-path result, a certain date or a newly approved commitment.

## S04 — complete risk register

Owner: DeliveryLead. Version R1 was updated at 2026-08-28T16:35Z and confirmed unchanged at the cutoff. Likelihood/impact words below are ordinal descriptions under the team's agreed scale, not numerical probabilities or equal-interval scores. No average rating is defined.

| ID | Uncertain event and consequence | Likelihood | Impact | Response / present evidence | Owner | Review due UTC |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| R01 | Supplier correction may not arrive in time for M2, delaying the dependent handover and pilot | MEDIUM | HIGH | Request supplier position under DEP01; no correction-date confirmation yet | IntegrationLead | 2026-08-31T12:00Z |
| R02 | Backup testing capacity may be unavailable when the four-hour gap needs cover | LOW | MEDIUM | DeliveryLead to confirm a qualified substitute; no assignment approved yet | DeliveryLead | 2026-08-31T09:00Z |

Escalate to ProjectSponsor if the dependency or staffing options cannot support the forecast under review. I01 is the observed failed check; R01 is a related future timing risk, not a second observed failure. Both responses are planned, with no evidence of completed mitigation. Risk status AMBER under RR1. No prior comparable risk-register snapshot is supplied.

## S05 — issue log at cutoff

Owner: IntegrationLead. Version I1 was updated at 2026-08-28T16:30Z and confirmed unchanged at the 17:00 cutoff. Issue I01 opened at 2026-08-28T14:00Z. Observed fact: one supplier-specific label produced the wrong internal test queue in C06. Impact: M2 acceptance blocked. Severity: internal acceptance blocker. Customer impact: none observed in this synthetic internal test; no claim about unseen production systems. Root cause: UNCONFIRMED.

State at cutoff: OPEN. Next action: obtain supplier correction position and evidence, then ask TestLead to rerun the affected acceptance checks and confirm the full acceptance condition. Owner: IntegrationLead; response checkpoint: 2026-08-31T12:00Z. Closure evidence: NONE. Workaround: keep the internal pilot unaccepted; continue manual internal handling under existing arrangements. Do not infer that a workaround closes I01 or accepts M2.

## S06 — finance snapshot and explicit coverage gap

Owner: FinanceOwner. Snapshot F1 was issued at 2026-08-28T16:00Z. Actuals are covered through 2026-08-27T17:00Z. FinanceOwner states at 16:45 on August 28 that posting completeness for the interval after August 27 at 17:00 through today's 17:00 cutoff is NOT CONFIRMED; this remains the position at cutoff. Do not assert an amount for any missing transactions. All listed amounts are USD and use the same illustrative cost scope; no tax or exchange-rate calculation is modeled.

| Item ID | Category | Amount USD | Treatment |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| AC01 | Actual labor | 4200 | Included once in actuals |
| AC02 | Actual services charged against supplier commitment SC01 | 1800 | Included once in actuals; already part of SC01 total |
| SC01 | Total supplier commitment | 3000 | Includes AC02; remaining open balance 1200 |
| RF01 | Remaining labor forecast | 3000 | Included in remaining forecast |
| RF02 | Remaining supplier services under SC01 | 1200 | Same 1200 open balance, included in remaining forecast |
| RF03 | Remaining uncommitted services | 1200 | Separate from SC01; included in remaining forecast |

FinanceOwner's calculation contract for this packet: actuals = AC01 + AC02; remaining forecast = RF01 + RF02 + RF03; covered-snapshot forecast = actuals + remaining forecast. SC01 is explanatory commitment information, not an additional cost on top of those sums. B1 budget: USD 12,000. Conditional headroom = budget minus covered-snapshot forecast; positive means below budget on this limited basis, not savings.

Current budget health UNKNOWN under RR1 because posting coverage through status cutoff remains unconfirmed. The conditional forecast is still shown with that limitation. In a real project, accounting basis, accruals, commitments, currency and exclusions require financial-owner/professional review; this example supplies no policy for those decisions.

## S07 — decisions and cross-team dependency

Owner: DeliveryLead. Snapshot D1 was updated at 2026-08-28T16:40Z and confirmed unchanged at the cutoff.

| ID | Type | Record | State at cutoff | Authority / responsible role | Due time UTC |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| D01 | DECISION | Approve baseline B1: internal-only pilot, finish September 4 at 17:00, budget USD 12,000 | APPROVED 2026-08-20T10:00Z | ProjectSponsor | COMPLETE |
| D02 | DECISION_REQUEST | Review recovery options or proposed B2 finish September 7 at 17:00 after supplier/capacity review | PROPOSED 2026-08-28T16:00Z; no approval | ProjectSponsor decides; DeliveryLead prepares | 2026-08-31T12:00Z |
| DEP01 | DEPENDENCY | Obtain supplier correction position and evidence needed for M2 | UNCONFIRMED | Requesting owner: IntegrationLead; supplying role: SupplierCoordinator | 2026-08-31T12:00Z |

Leadership question: can available recovery actions support the approved September 4 finish, or should the sponsor approve a revised commitment after reviewing dependency and capacity evidence? The current September 7 forecast reflects the present assumptions, not an approved B2. Options need review; no instruction here authorizes spending, resource allocation or a new external promise. SupplierCoordinator has not confirmed the requested checkpoint or a correction date. No response does not mean agreement.

## S08 — complete owner updates and release confirmation

Owner: DeliveryLead. The operational statements below were available by 2026-08-28T16:45Z and confirmed unchanged at the 17:00 cutoff. These are synthetic role-based notes; no personal employee information is included.

- DeliveryLead, 16:20: Engineering execution tasks can be closed while M2 remains unaccepted. B1 is unchanged. Prepare the September 7 forecast against the September 4 baseline and ask for the recovery/replan decision; do not present B2 as authorized.
- TestLead, 16:30: ATEST1 has five passes and one failure. No acceptance rerun is supplied. Next week, August 31 through September 4, requires 16 testing hours under the current plan; confirmed capacity is 12 hours. We need 4 additional qualified hours or an approved change to the plan. No employee-health, performance or morale explanation is offered or needed.
- IntegrationLead, 16:35: I01 is still OPEN in this packet; the supplier response under DEP01 is unconfirmed. I will obtain a position and evidence by August 31 at 12:00 and escalate unresolved options to DeliveryLead.
- FinanceOwner, 16:45: F1 covers actuals through August 27 at 17:00. Final-day posting completeness is not confirmed. Keep current budget status UNKNOWN; the conditional forecast does not prove full budget health. I will provide a coverage confirmation or a documented remaining gap by August 31 at 12:00.

Administrative confirmation after data freeze: DeliveryLead confirms edition 1 for internal release at 2026-08-28T17:30Z, based solely on the frozen packet and the stated exceptions. Dimension status: Schedule RED, Budget UNKNOWN, Scope GREEN (B1 unchanged), Risks AMBER, Resources AMBER. Overall RED under RR1. This confirms the report wording and distribution; it does not certify missing financial coverage, approve D02, assign staff, close I01 or accept M2. Issued to the S01 recipient list at 17:45. No delivery-log or read-receipt claim is modeled beyond this fictional issuance record.

## Filled edition1 — ready-to-read example

Project SR079, internal support-routing pilot. Period: August 24 at 00:00 to August 28 at 17:00 UTC, 2026. Status cutoff = knowledge cutoff = August 28 at 17:00. Baseline B1. Rule RR1. Prepared by DeliveryLead at 17:15, confirmed at 17:30, issued at 17:45. Internal audience per S01.

### Executive summary

Overall RED: the pilot acceptance forecast is September 7 at 17:00 against the approved September 4 at 17:00 finish (S01, S03). M2 is not accepted because five of six checks passed and I01 blocks acceptance (S03, S05). Finance provides a conditional USD 11,400 forecast against the USD 12,000 budget for the covered snapshot; current budget is UNKNOWN because final-day posting coverage is not confirmed (S06). A recovery/replan decision is requested by August 31 at 12:00 after dependency and capacity review; B2 is not approved (S07, S08).

### Accomplishments and progress measures

M1 was accepted on August 25 at 12:00 (S03). T03, T04 and added task T09 became DONE during the window; T01 and T02 were already DONE before it (S02). T04 means test execution and recording were completed, not acceptance. The opening commitment count is 8; the current total is 10, with 4 original tasks DONE and 5 total tasks DONE. Both 4/8 and 5/10 equal 50%, but neither is project completion. Accepted milestones: 1/4 = 25%, an unweighted count only. The previous M4 forecast was September 4; the current forecast is September 7, three calendar days later. The previous accepted milestone count was 0; the current count is 1 (S03).

### Exceptions, next actions and requested decisions

The following future actions are owner follow-up requirements, not guaranteed results. DEP01's deadline is requested, not accepted by the supplier. If no answer is available by August 31 at 12:00, IntegrationLead reports and escalates the unanswered request. If evidence is still missing at the decision checkpoint, ProjectSponsor must explicitly decide the next review arrangement; B2 does not become approved through silence. This is the recommended exception handling, not an additional completed event in the frozen records.

Schedule is RED because M2 was not accepted by its deadline and the M4 forecast is after the B1 finish. IntegrationLead will obtain the DEP01 supplier position and evidence by August 31 at 12:00; acceptance requires TestLead's rerun confirmation (S03, S05, S07, S08). Risks are AMBER: supplier timing and backup testing capacity remain uncertain (S04). Resources are AMBER: 12 confirmed testing hours against 16 required next week leaves 4 hours, or 25% of the requirement, uncovered (S08). DeliveryLead will resolve qualified coverage or request a revised plan, reviewing backup availability by August 31 at 09:00 (S04, S08).

Budget is UNKNOWN: USD 6,000 actuals plus USD 5,400 remaining forecast = USD 11,400 for F1 coverage. Conditional headroom of USD 600 is 5% of budget, not realized savings. The full USD 3,000 commitment must not be added again: USD 1,800 is already in actuals and USD 1,200 is already in the remaining forecast. FinanceOwner will confirm final-day coverage or state its remaining gap by August 31 at 12:00 (S06, S08).

Scope is GREEN under B1; D02 is a pending decision request, not an approved rebaseline. ProjectSponsor is to decide recovery or replan only after reviewing the updated dependency and capacity evidence (S01, S07). No source updates or commitments are executed by this report.

### Evidence coverage and limitations

Eight of eight required source categories were received. Seven of eight are confirmed applicable and current through cutoff; S06 financial posting coverage is limited. The 87.5% figure is a category-coverage check, not report accuracy or project completion. Owner release confirmation does not fill the gap. Overall RED preserves known schedule exposure while explicitly showing unknown budget. No critical-path simulation, cost trend, probability of success, employee performance assessment or business uplift is claimed.

## Late evidence and correction queue — not part of edition1 inputs

Received at 2026-08-31T09:00Z from IntegrationLead: “Supplier says the correction was completed at 2026-08-28T16:30Z. I have not received a TestLead rerun or acceptance confirmation.” This is a complete short invented message. The claimed event precedes the Friday cutoff; receipt follows it by 64 hours. It is not verified closure evidence and was not known for edition 1.

Correction queue CQ01: original edition SR079/1; claimed I01 resolution at August 28, 16:30; learned August 31, 09:00; verification PENDING; reviewers IntegrationLead and TestLead. Required follow-up: obtain correction evidence, confirm what was resolved, rerun or verify acceptance as appropriate, and determine whether an explicit linked correction is required. No correction edition has been issued in the example. Do not rewrite the original issue state, accept M2 or turn the schedule green from this message alone.

## Independent calculation targets for reviewers

- Opening tasks: 8; added: 2; total: 10. Cutoff states: DONE 5, BLOCKED 2, IN_PROGRESS 2, TODO 1. Newly DONE in the window: 3, of which 2 were original commitments and 1 was added.
- Original DONE: 4/8 = 50%; all DONE: 5/10 = 50%; accepted milestones: 1/4 = 25%. These are different measures, not project completion.
- M2 forecast minus B1 deadline: 3 calendar days; M3 difference: 1 day; M4 difference: 3 days. M4 forecast change against PR0: 3 days.
- Six acceptance checks: 5 PASS, 1 FAIL. M2 is NOT_ACCEPTED.
- Actuals: 4200 + 1800 = 6000. Open commitment: 3000 − 1800 = 1200. Remaining: 3000 + 1200 + 1200 = 5400. Covered forecast: 6000 + 5400 = 11400. Conditional headroom: 12000 − 11400 = 600; 600 / 12000 = 5%.
- Incorrect double-counted forecast: 11400 + 3000 = 14400; overstatement: 3000. This example does not infer the amount of unknown final-day costs.
- Test capacity gap: 16 − 12 = 4 hours; 4/16 = 25% of required hours. Do not confuse this with 4/12 = 33.3% relative additional capacity needed.
- Source categories received: 8/8; current applicable coverage: 7/8 = 87.5%. The late claim was received 64 hours after the knowledge cutoff; the claimed resolution time is 30 minutes before cutoff. Neither establishes verified acceptance.

Recomputing these targets validates the internal arithmetic of a fictional editorial example. It is not evidence of a product's measured accuracy, actual integration behavior or project performance.
