About

A stalled project is rarely stalled for the reason the last status report gives. So the first job is an honest account of what is actually built, what works, and what only appears to.

Then it gets finished rather than restarted. A rewrite is the expensive answer and usually the second failure — most of what exists is worth keeping, and the part that is not is smaller than it looks from the outside.

What is included

An honest assessment first
What is really built and really working, before anyone commits to a date.
Finished, not restarted
Keep what works, replace only what must be, and ship the thing that was paid for.
What went wrong, written down
So the next project does not arrive in the same condition.
