Editorial planning estimate only, assuming usable documents, available reviewers and no complex procurement or integration.
| Work | Planning allowance | Dependency that can extend it |
|---|---|---|
| Scope, permissions and baseline | 1–2 weeks | Missing records or approval |
| Schema and configuration | 1–2 weeks | Inconsistent schedules or catalogue data |
| Holdout evaluation and fixes | 1–2 weeks | Serious omissions or poor reviewer availability |
| Shadow use and decision | 1–2 weeks | Too few relevant bids to observe |
| Production integrations | Separately estimated | API access, security review and recovery design |
These stages suggest a 4–8 week narrow pilot, not a typical market duration. Extend the observation period if it contains too few relevant bids; a calendar date is not an acceptance result.
