## Review checklist

- Verify who accepted supplying ownership.
- Keep needed-by, estimated, and confirmed delivery dates separate.
- Check readiness, access, environments, and acceptance conditions.
- Preserve changed commitments and their evidence in the log.
- Review late-to-need and overdue items separately.
- Assign a follow-up owner and a review date.
- Escalate with impact, options, and a specific decision request.
- Close only after the receiving team verifies usable delivery.
