Enterprise foundations
Same timing rules for every provider. First-platform selection changes sequencing only. Actual service fit, evidence reuse, CSSP coverage, connectivity and operating ownership require validation. Only capabilities marked required gate final boundary evidence in this example. Optional FinOps tooling can follow with validated interim coverage.
Reference scenario: four providers, shared team, existing capability coverage and no new CMP. M24 is a new teaching assumption. Fewer selected providers reduce scope; unselected providers have no planned date. The existing M18 platform teaching path is retained.
All durations are illustrative assumptions. The assessment allowance assumes a favorable decision for scenario arithmetic; it does not predict or grant authorization. No client data, cost estimates or mission migration forecast.
Draft for discussion · capability-driven assumptions · no provider-specific timing penalty
