What a MOSAIC readiness assessment should answer

The decision behind this topic

For executive teams considering program approval, the useful question is not simply what MOSAIC says. The work is creating a go, conditionally go, or no-go recommendation. The management decision is whether enough verified information exists to authorize the next investment gate. 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

   agree on decision criteria before the assessment

2. 2

   show confidence and source for every conclusion

3. 3

   convert conditions into funded closure work

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.
