# TMED-II Phase III — Audit Executive Summary

**Audit Date:** 2026-05-19 | **Mode:** Manufacturing | **Auditor:** Claude (project-auditor + orchestrate)
**Project Value:** 8,298,264 MXN (Utility 4,298,264 + Rigging 4,000,000)
**Status:** BOTH POs in hand. Contracts UNSIGNED. Crews mobilize TOMORROW (May 20).

---

## OVERALL VERDICT: CAUTION

The project is strategically well-positioned (embedded contractor, no competitor substitute, internal champion) but operationally unprepared for tomorrow's mobilization. **7 CRITICAL findings, 9 HIGH findings** across 5 audit dimensions require immediate attention.

## Top 5 Blocking Issues (Act TODAY — May 19)

| # | Finding | Why It's Blocking | Action |
|---|---------|-------------------|--------|
| 1 | **No container arrival confirmation** | If containers haven't arrived/cleared customs, there is NOTHING to install. 20 people idle at ~18,800 MXN/day. | Call Bae/Daniel NOW. Get vessel tracking + customs status. |
| 2 | **No signed contract + 4 conflicting payment schedules** | Starting 8.3M of work with zero contractual protection. 4 versions exist: 60/30/10, 30/30/35/5, 30/35/30/5, 50/20/20/10. | Get written start authorization. Confirm which payment terms are binding. |
| 3 | **SOFOM bond documents not prepared** | Art. 10 requires 3 bonds (~4.15M face value). Status: PENDING. Can't sign contract without them. | Draft bonds TODAY on SOFOM letterhead (both 30% and 50% versions). |
| 4 | **Crew logistics not booked** | Housing, vans, subcontractor Alejandro — all quoted but NOT reserved/deposited/confirmed. | Call Myriam (housing), Franco (vans), Alejandro (crew) TODAY. |
| 5 | **Rigging tools not purchased** | 10 of 11 tool categories still "Pendiente." Can't rig 35T machines without tortugas, chain slings, hydraulic jacks. | Order Priority 1 tools TODAY. Tortugas from CDMX = 3-7 day lead time. |

## Cash Flow Risk Scenario (Worst Case)

| Week | Outflow | Inflow (if contract stalls) | Cumulative Exposure |
|------|---------|----------------------------|---------------------|
