Standards and accountability
Five hours a month of owner time, spent projecting the work.
Where this step fits
Nothing downstream. This step closes the loop.
What owners ask
What is the standards and accountability step?
Five hours a month of owner time, spent projecting the work. It's step 08 of 8 in CONTROL, drawn from chapter 8.
Does the order make a difference?
Yes. This step depends on overhead calculation and project management and monthly cadence, so installing it first produces numbers the field won't trust.
What does it change downstream?
It's the last step in the chain and it closes the loop on the seven before it.
What fails if I skip step 08?
Nothing downstream fails, because nothing reads from it. What fails is the loop: standards and accountability is what stops the 7 steps ahead of it drifting back to where they started.
Where does step 08 fit in the sequence?
Position 8 of 8 once the dependencies are resolved. It waits on 03 and 06 and 07. Nothing waits on it, which makes it the last one installed. Most owners install all 8 inside 60 days.
