Program Kickoff Deck

This deck is a pre-close document and it does not know how the program turns out. It carries the 58-person pre-close roster rather than the 84 the program eventually runs, and it is budgeted against the Class 5 deal model — $42.0M base plus 15% contingency, $52.5M authorized — because the post-close re-baseline does not exist yet. Its identity-resolution assumptions are the deal model's, which antitrust law bars anyone from verifying until after close. Slide 12 says so explicitly, and it is the most useful slide here: a program stating at kickoff that its own baseline is the least reliable one it will ever have. Read it against the Data Profiling Results and the Lessons Learned to see what the assumption was actually worth.
