# Archive B invented planning calendar

### Put the stages on one calendar

Here is an **invented planning example for Archive B**. Its people, permissions, conditions, dates, durations, correction, offer and outcome are fictional. Day 0 is its first inquiry. All intervals below are assumed elapsed calendar days, not Rightmark service levels, observed averages or a forecast for the three public lots. Each exchange requires the relevant authorization; sending a raw archive does not start a useful clock.

| Stage and assumed interval                                   | Start condition                                                        | Finish and evidence                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| ------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Inquiry and appraisal, **day 0 to 2**                        | Owner sends a description and proposed scope, without raw files        | Recorded inputs, indicative appraisal and information request. No sampling permission or qualification is implied.                                                                                                                                                              |
| Inventory and screening, **day 2 to 10**                     | Responsible administrators and scope identified                        | Per-tool counts and coverage, exclusions and a decision to prepare a bounded specimen. Unconfirmed quantities stay labeled.                                                                                                                                                     |
| NDA, test permission and preparation scope, **day 5 to 12**  | Recipient, ordinary inspection and preparation team identified         | Approved material, purpose, recipients, transfer/retention window, responsibilities and cost scope in writing. This overlaps inventory; no sharing precedes the permission and rights/privacy checks.                                                                           |
| Prepare specimen S1, **day 12 to 20**                        | Bounded work and permitted inputs approved                             | Scrubbed S1, transformation notes and owner-approved release, produced inside the agreed systems. No general availability of a pilot Clean Room job is assumed.                                                                                                                 |
| Buyer inspects S1, **day 20 to 25**                          | S1 received under the approved permission                              | Findings on ordinary quality, completeness and relationships. No model training, embeddings or benchmarking is authorized by this inspection.                                                                                                                                   |
| Correct a relationship defect, **day 25 to 29**              | Finding, permitted correction, payer and change authorization recorded | S2 and a change log showing one failed join repaired from an authorized source. This is an invented allowed correction, not a standard free remedy.                                                                                                                             |
| Recheck and select the scope, **day 29 to 31**               | Approved S2 received                                                   | Written sample decision and scope selected for a conditional offer. This is not delivery acceptance or payment.                                                                                                                                                                 |
| Final commercial/rights work and signature, **day 10 to 42** | Scoped proposal and outstanding questions available                    | Signed license for the selected snapshot, assumed US$90,000 amount and 24-month exclusive use boundary, with costs, deliverables and acceptance/invoice/payment triggers settled. The conditional offer follows the day-31 sample decision; negotiation overlaps specimen work. |
| Full preparation, **day 42 to 49**                           | Signed scope and authorized full-run inputs available                  | Version D1, manifest, exclusion/quality checks and release approval. This assumed week must be replaced with the agreed effort for a real archive.                                                                                                                              |
| Transfer, **day 49 to 56**                                   | Approved D1 and scoped destination/access ready                        | Complete package and technical receipt logged. Seven elapsed days are assumed; receipt does not establish acceptance.                                                                                                                                                           |
| Acceptance and invoice condition, **day 56 to 61**           | Authorized reviewer receives D1 and starts the agreed review           | Written acceptance and the separately satisfied invoice condition. D1 is assumed to pass; any remedy or partial acceptance would depend on this example's agreed license.                                                                                                       |
| Invoice and cash receipt, **day 61 to 70**                   | Invoice issued after its condition is met                              | Full assumed **US$90,000 gross license receipt** on day 70. A bank receipt establishes this endpoint; the invoice alone does not.                                                                                                                                               |

This invented transaction takes **70 elapsed calendar days, or ten weeks**, from inquiry to cash. Signing to cash takes 28 days, and transfer takes seven. Preparation and transfer are separate; the commercial track overlaps inventory and sampling. Adding the row lengths would count overlapping time twice. The total describes this example only and was not obtained by adding the public fastest estimates.

If S2 fails, rights remain unresolved, the buyer adds a model test or D1 fails acceptance, stop the affected stage and agree the next evidence, scope, work, payer and deadline. The day-70 cash date no longer follows automatically. A repair can be possible without having a predictable duration, and a new use may call for a new agreement rather than another round of the same test.
