Episode 8 — Retrospective Ritual (Saipem COMP2)
What Worked (SEA)
- Streamline: Early EP mirroring (Attach/Park) + manifest alignment + CSV Decision_Notes eliminated referenced‑only ambiguity and sped CF04.
- Enrich: Locked variant (FLP Ex d) and power (transformer 240→230 Vac) with precise citations, improving auditability and CPQ clarity.
- Accelerate: Spec Reference Register materialized; CPQ pre‑entry list expanded (Ex d ancillaries; optional alarm/CCR) reducing handoff friction.
What Didn’t / Friction Observed
- Referenced‑only EMC/register/IP still blocked final closure pending vendor response.
- No project‑specific CSV initially present; required creation from template (time cost, but now resolved).
- Vendor pack lacked explicit Ex certs for heater/JB/signage; needed Ex d default from spec to drive decisions.
Standards Deltas (Implemented)
- CSV coupling: Added project CSV
CF02/output/Compliance_Matrix_Extended.csv; mirrored EP IDs into Decision_Notes.
- Cross‑walk: Added Ex d default row (R‑HAZ‑002) to reduce ambiguity and force component‑level protection concepts.
- CPQ mapping: Template usage extended with optional alarm/CCR lines tied to spec citations.
- Evidence Pack: Added parked EP‑007/EP‑008/EP‑009; mirrored across outputs.
Metrics & Signals (qualitative)
- Evidence completeness: Improved; EP‑007/EP‑008/EP‑009 Parked with RFIs.
- Variant/power gates: Both set to true; weakest‑link now tied to external evidence (EMC/IP/register).
- CPQ readiness: Pre‑entry list covers variant/power ancillaries and optional alarms.
Hypotheses for Episode 9
- If we start with the CSV present and a pre‑seeded EP checklist, time‑to‑flow reduces further.
- Making optional alarm/CCR line patterns reusable across projects will reduce decision latency.
- A small checklist to auto‑insert Ex d default and IP minima rows in the cross‑walk for oil & gas profiles will prevent misses.
Next Actions (feed to Onramp)
- Start Episode 9 by cloning the CSV template to the new project immediately and pre‑seeding EP placeholders.
- Enforce variant/power gates upfront; add Ex d default and IP minima to cross‑walk on day zero.
- Prepare optional alarm/CCR CPQ entries as a modular block, toggled per scope.
