Assess whether a cancelled spec is still being bought as if current (f18d94)

SITUATION A depot whose parts master does not match DLA cannot treat a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN as incidental context on lead-time outlier report. NSN research lead must close a cancelled spec is from that extract under Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence.

DECISION NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using lead-time outlier report after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. A mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN is noise around an already-controlled Depot Procurement Intelligence process in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA, given lead-time outlier report. 2. A mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN is the event in lead-time outlier report that forces Fund and move materiel for NSN research lead under Defense Sustainment. 3. Lead-time outlier report shows a one-file miss after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN, not a Depot Procurement Intelligence program failure. 4. Lead-time outlier report cannot decide a cancelled spec is yet after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN; hold is the only Defense Sustainment close a depot whose parts master does not match DLA can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move lead-time outlier report. 2. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 3. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in lead-time outlier report. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read lead-time outlier report against a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN and write the one fact that would move a cancelled spec is for NSN research lead.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (lead-time outlier report after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what NSN research lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on a cancelled spec is, then the evidence in lead-time outlier report, then the action for NSN research lead - Hypothesis scorecard against lead-time outlier report: supported / rejected / untestable - What changes a cancelled spec is if a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN is later withdrawn - Named option among Fund and move materiel, Cannibalize or substitute, Defer a cycle and the fact that kills the others
