Monday–Friday, no holidays. Each unfinished step starts after its dependencies; completion is no earlier than its scheduled target. Remaining effort is illustrative, not vendor history. Printer date is a fixed fixture; this is not a delivery guarantee.

A shorter turnaround needs owner confirmation. No dates, completions or commitments are changed.
Follow-up outbox
Owner: Maya Chen · Trigger: Printer date at risk
Operational follow-ups require agreed recipients, sending rules and a verified email domain. No automatic follow-up sequence runs here.
The working model
Publisher → imprint → title → milestone → owner / vendor. Recorded completion and dependency rules determine status; overdue targets create exceptions. Follow-ups here are editable templates, not generated AI. In a customer pilot, calendar rules, evidence, access and integrations must be agreed separately.
