Critical Path
Four weeks to prove quote readiness.
The path starts with historical RFQs and ends with a live continue, revise, or stop decision.
30-Day Path
Week 1
Confirm baseline, collect 20 historical RFQs, and draft RFQ schema.
Owner: GM / Operations
Depends: Access to quote history
Done when: RFQ/month, quote time, win rate, and first schema captured.
Week 2
Capture estimator, operations, and QA rules; draft quote-prep assistant.
Owner: Estimator / Ops / QA
Depends: Schema draft
Done when: Fit, missing-info, QA, and margin-risk rules documented.
Week 3
Test historical RFQs, revise schema, and build clarification prompts.
Owner: GM / Nav
Depends: Assistant draft
Done when: Historical sample produces useful quote-prep briefs.
Week 4
Test 10 live RFQs and decide continue, revise, or stop.
Owner: Leadership
Depends: Live RFQs
Done when: GO/no-GO decision recorded with evidence.

Gate
Continue only if 80% of new RFQs are complete enough for a one-page quote-prep brief and the estimator says review speed improved.
