A structured way to read a pre-go-live status report before you carry its number into a board meeting.
A printable intake worksheet for capturing requirements before a system integrator scopes your build. Fill it out first — a vendor’s own questionnaire will always be shaped to fit their product.
Eight core module categories, the question worth asking about each before you sign off, and the watch-out we see most often during implementation review.
Duration ranges are typical for a mid-market single or multi-entity implementation and will vary by scope. What matters more than the dates: each phase has a real exit criterion, not a calendar milestone.

The governance vocabulary that separates a defensible pre-go-live conversation from a guess. Plain English, no vendor jargon — written for the people who carry the decision, not the people who build the system.
Not a maturity checklist. The specific, evidence-verifiable variables most strongly correlated with ERP implementation outcomes — the same six an Orpington Confidence Score is weighted against.
