3Frameworks

Framework

Is the mission requirement clearly defined and achievable?

Threat model and operational environment assessment

Threat evolving: adversary A2AD capability deployed in 18 months

Window of opportunity: 36-month capability gap before maturity

Requirements stability and customer alignment

Customer baseline froze 6 months ago; 15% scope creep expected

Key stakeholder (allied partner) engagement: 4 approval gates

Can the technology be matured and integrated in the timeframe?

Core technology maturity and integration risk

TRL 6 core sensor; TRL 4 autonomous decision layer; 18mo to TRL 8

47 integration points across 12 subsystems; 23% have formal risk assessments

Subcontractor ecosystem and supply chain dependencies

Single-source suppliers on 8 critical components; lead times 14-18 months

3 key subcontractors have geopolitical export restrictions

Are budget, schedule, and organizational resources sufficient?

Budget realism and contingency planning

Baseline: $1.8B; historical overrun: 22% (industry avg: 18%)

Contingency reserve: 8% ($144M); insufficient for 22% overrun scenario

Schedule feasibility and critical path dependencies

Critical path: 42 months; no float on system integration (9 months)

Customer validation gate at 28 months adds 6-month risk if payload integration fails
