Executive position

M3 Threats Post-mitigation reaches P80 on 03 Jan 2028 — 114 days after the 12 Sep 2027 deterministic completion. Mitigation has trimmed 49 days off the M2 P80, but three DCMA checks still fail.

  • Schedule readiness sits at Caveats (76/100). The validator passed with caveats; review the open findings before committing the P-values.
  • At the median, M3 reaches 18 Oct 2027 (+36 days from deterministic).
  • Top three driver risks: Statutory undertaker delays (M42 western corridor); Ground conditions — M42 western embankment; Land acquisition — 4 plots.
  • Mitigation delta from M2 to M3 is 49 days at P80 — the post-mitigation suite is delivering, but the residual P80–P50 spread (77 days) flags that tail risk is unevenly attacked.
  • Methodology summary in the footer; full per-check trace in the Findings section below.

Schedule risk profile

S-curve · post-mitigation primaryM3 Post-mitigation lifts the P80 by 49 days versus the un-mitigated M2 case, and the P10–P90 corridor narrows from 198 days to 142 days — the residual risk is mostly tail, not central spread.

Activity drivers

Tornado · activity-level rank correlationThe driver activities cluster on the western embankment and the northbound slip approach — six of the top ten activity drivers sit on the same critical path segment, so a single ground-conditions event would cascade.

Mitigation delta

Findings

SOMA QSRA Readiness V2.9 · 39 checks · 6 domainsEight findings open. Three are blockers — two DCMA leads/lags violations and one out-of-sequence cluster on the western embankment — and need closure before the next client stage gate.

IDSeverityFindingOwnerStatus
DCMA-04BlockerNegative leads detected on 6 relationships — A1140→A1160 (SS−5), A1220→A1240 (FS−10) and four others. Negative leads compress the critical path artificially and breach the SOMA QSRA Readiness check S3-C2.Planner — A. HughesOpen
DCMA-05BlockerHigh lag count — 14 relationships use FS lag > 10 days. Threshold is 5% of total; observed 8.6%. Recommend converting to driving activities or splitting work.Planner — A. HughesOpen
SOMA-S4-C3BlockerOut-of-sequence progress — 4 activities show actual start before predecessor finish on the western embankment cluster (A1080, A1100, A1120, A1140). Risk modelling integrity is compromised until resolved.Risk Manager — D. PatelOpen
DCMA-08WarningHigh duration count — 31 activities have durations > 44 working days. Threshold 5%; observed 7.2%. Consider splitting long-running activities to expose progress signal.Planner — A. HughesOpen
SOMA-S5-R1WarningThree-point estimate sanity — R-019 (Plant availability) has min 5d / most-likely 5d / max 9d. Most-likely equals min — flag for re-estimation.RAM — J. SinclairOpen
SOMA-S5-R2WarningProbability boundary — R-022 (Late piling delivery) probability 100%. Risks at 0 or 100% should be moved to the schedule baseline, not modelled as probabilistic events.RAM — J. SinclairOpen
SOMA-S2-C1InfoCorrelation matrix non-PSD — original matrix had two negative eigenvalues, Higham nearest-PSD correction applied (max delta 0.07 in pairs (R-005, R-008) and (R-008, R-014)). Documented in audit log; no action required if accepted.Risk Manager — D. PatelAccepted
SOMA-S1-D3InfoDU sample size — Band A holds 12 activities. Below the V2.9 advisory floor of 15 for monotone stability of the P80; consider re-banding two adjacent Band B activities.Planner — A. HughesAccepted

Three accepted findings (with reasons logged) are travelling with this report. The full audit trail — including HMAC-chained log entries and per-run hashes — is available on the live tool.

Section 07

Per-decile risk attribution

Per-decile risk re-ranking · M3 post-mitThe P10 leaders differ from the P80 leaders — the rare, large risks (R-014 Statutory undertaker, R-008 Ground conditions) dominate the upper deciles, while the high-probability bulk-firing risks (R-005 Weather, R-019 Plant) carry the lower deciles.

Risks are re-ranked per decile using decile_factor(d) = 0.4 + 1.2 × (d / 9) — model-based, not iteration-direct (Safran iteration export doesn't preserve per-iteration risk firing; the decile weighting is the defensible approximation). Methodology stamp V2.9.
