Decisions that drift first under pressure
Projects often accept late vessel substitutions, reduce technical challenge windows, or move hold-point evidence to offshore execution where correction is expensive.
Decision quality controls that hold up
Keep vessel-mission fit checks independent from commercial negotiations, require evidence-based close-out before mobilisation, and ringfence critical interface reviews from schedule drift.
Where assurance creates commercial value
Independent assurance speeds decisions by making constraints explicit early. This protects campaign economics without relying on optimistic assumptions.
