Episode 6 — Retrospective Ritual (Saipem COMP2)

What Worked (SEA)

• Streamline: Early EP staging proposal reduces CF03 rework; auto‑RFIs in CF02 pre‑stage client asks.
• Enrich: Cross‑walk precision (Section_Title + Page/Line_Range) and citation example improve auditability.
• Accelerate: Variant and power checks shorten decision cycles in CF03.

What Didn’t / Friction Observed

• Missing enclosure IP claims in vendor pack despite clear spec minima (cite: Reference Examples/Q-21699 - Saipem COMP2/RFQ Files/Instrumentation/200-51-IN-SPC-00021_00.md, 1721–1725).
• EMC/ATEX register referenced but not attached in quality docs (cite: Reference Examples/Q-21699 - Saipem COMP2/Rev 1 Quote Sent/Quality Documents.md, 741–742; 751–752).
• Hazardous‑area variant ambiguity (FLP vs non‑FLP) requires explicit BOM selection (cite: Reference Examples/Q-21699 - Saipem COMP2/Rev 1 Quote Sent/Datasheets and CoCs.md, 468–471).

Standards Deltas (Implemented)

• Run of Show: CF03 EP pre‑step.
• Sequencing: CF02 auto‑RFI (IP/EMC); CF02 cross‑walk precision; CF03 variant/power checks + EP staging.
• Templates: Cross‑walk field split; new Spec Reference Register.
• References: Citation Style example; EP Checklist EMC note; Standards Catalog update.

Metrics & Signals (qualitative for demo)

• High‑risk closure readiness improved (status/evidence coupling strong).
• Expected time reduction: CF03 faster due to EP staging and explicit checks.

Hypotheses for Episode 7

• Materialize EP attachments and mirror IDs in CSV Decision_Notes will reduce back‑and‑forth with Sales/Client in CF04.
• Pre‑baked RFI templates (IP/EMC/FLP) will reduce turn time and increase acceptance.

Next Actions (feed to Onramp)

• Prepare EP folder with filenames from Rev 1 Quote Sent/Datasheets and CoCs.md (EP‑001..EP‑006) and draft RFIs.
• Confirm client/site power baseline to close power alignment item.
