ME.14:5.1 - APP-ME-01 Early Stop
In the constructed EC-417 case, the team must release a controller firmware and harness change on D0. Its software-integration slot is D-21, but signed supplier pinout evidence is expected at D-8. The present question is which proposed way to coordinate that release is worth pursuing under the current constraints.
ME.6 §5.3 supplies the timing and capacity comparison:
| Alternative | Proposed way of working | Consequence for this decision |
|---|---|---|
| A | Wait for signed supplier evidence before integrating the software; hold one final board. | With evidence arriving at D-8, the team misses the D-21 slot. Arrival by D-21 removes that timing disadvantage. |
| B | Integrate at D-21 from a versioned provisional edition and reconcile it with signed evidence at D-8. Keep the provisional edition, its uncertainty and its earlier use traceable. The safety engineer performs all 2.00 h of preparation of the changes between editions. | Estimated peak safety demand is 4.40 h, above the 3.20 h limit in an eight-hour day. |
| B2 | Use B’s integration and reconciliation order and retain the same evidence history, but allocate 1.60 h of that preparation to the supplier-configuration role and 0.40 h to the safety engineer. | Estimated peak safety demand is 2.80 h, within the same limit; the supplier’s preparation remains part of the total burden. |
| Stop or next slot | Stop the proposed change or defer the release to an authorized later slot when the required conditions cannot be met. | State the delay or foregone result and the condition needed to reconsider. |
Keep the comparison tied to this decision and make burden, confidentiality, holder capabilities, project, user, provider, repository, PLM and CI Systems, Agent-performed Work, direct relations, recovery, side effects, reversibility, and evidence limits explicit. The three ME.10 support tasks establish their bounded task observations only; the three-release WorkPlan supplies no release-worth evidence.
Keep C-EC-Release-v2 as a candidate. Preserve the missing A.22 selection basis, untested AI-provider and feedback branches, and unsupported CUR-EC417-CadenceEffect-1. The timing and capacity estimates support rejecting B’s overloaded safety allocation and retaining B2 as a proposal for at most three trials under its entry conditions. If those conditions cannot be met, return stop/next-slot or the signed-first A alternative with its timing consequence. An actual release or trial entry still needs every applicable capability, assignment, permission and authority condition. If the question is demonstrated release worth, return the missing performed-release and alternative evidence. The observed support-task results, with the tailoring operation still undefined and its permission/authority stop untested, do not establish that stronger result.
