A MOSAIC due diligence checklist for decision makers

The decision behind this topic

For acquirers, boards, partners, and program sponsors, the useful question is not simply what MOSAIC says. The work is making diligence findings comparable and actionable. The management decision is what could change the pathway, launch date, capital need, or enterprise value. That requires an aircraft-specific record, not a generic interpretation copied into a schedule.

A credible program distinguishes confirmed requirements from assumptions, ties each conclusion to the configuration it covers, and gives unresolved items an owner and a decision date. This is especially important when prior certification work, supplier evidence, or commercial forecasts are being reused in a new U.S. context.

Evidence to put on the table

A practical way to proceed

1. 1

   rate evidence quality as well as completeness

2. 2

   escalate configuration and pathway ambiguity

3. 3

   convert red flags into conditions, price effects, or stop criteria

The output should be a traceable recommendation with conditions, not an unsupported yes or no. Where evidence is incomplete, show the closure method, cost and schedule exposure, and the event that will change the decision.
