The Blueprint, in full.
This is the document the questionnaire produces: the machine you need, the routes inside it, what is in scope and in what order it goes live. This sample is drawn for a fictional 45-person fabrication business. Yours is generated from your answers.

Your Blueprint will differ. That is the point.
This sample is one operation's answers. A different floor seats a different machine, and the ledger says so out loud.
See yours before you commit.
Eight answer sets in, one Blueprint out: modules, routes, scope and phases for your operation, before you sign anything.
