Method
Commit only when the scope is controllable.
A documented control route from enquiry classification to closeout, with explicit hold points and no-go decisions, derived from principal delivery records and the MVS control framework.
Doability gate
The first decision is whether to proceed at all
ProceedConditionalNot yet
Every enquiry is classified before any commitment. If the scope cannot be controlled within competence, authority, insurance and evidence, the answer is conditional or not-yet — not an optimistic yes.

| HP-03 | Fix the engagement boundary | MVS + Owner |
| HP-04 | Freeze scope & workpacks | MVS + Owner |
| HP-05 | Confirm interface & authority map | MVS + External |
| HP-06 | Baseline cost, schedule & change | MVS + Owner |
| HP-07 | Release controlled execution | Owner, on MVS advice |

| HP-10 | Accept closeout | Owner |
Authority boundary
MVS is alongside the owner at every stage — recommending, coordinating and witnessing. Formal test, inspection and certification acceptance are made by the accredited authority; we prepare, present and witness them so the owner is supported throughout and nothing stalls.
