Appendix E Cedar building-release delta, deterministic teaching case

Building ready week 47 → productive week 63; deadline week 62 missed by 1 weekmodeled

Value kindmodeled — Interpret this value according to its displayed kind, scope, source, and as-of date.
ScopeUnsupported teaching assumptions, not utility or vendor lead-time observations. Original fixture: utility 44, manufacture 40, shipping 4, building 42, installation 6, facility acceptance 4, IT delivery 46, racking 2 and validation 6 elapsed weeks. Building readiness changes to 47; deadline 62 brackets the base finish of 60. No stochastic events or resource contention included.
As of2026-09-08
SourceGuide derivation from Chapter 2.1 Cedar network (guide2-t26-cedar-network-inputs); scenario assumptions set September 8, 2026. · Chapter 2.1 Cedar dependency case supplies the base network; the E-S01 building-release delta is an authored Appendix E teaching derivation awaiting publication with this batch.
DerivationDock=40+4=44; install=max(44,47)+6=53; accepted=max(44,53)+4=57; racked=max(46,47)+2=49; productive=max(57,49)+6=63. At building week 46, productive=62; at week 44 or earlier, productive=60. This deterministic comparison does not reproduce the probabilistic date in Chapter 2.1.
