Strategy
The Northstar, objectives, and the assumption register with live threshold status, the drift alerts, and the signal map.
What this shows
Threshold status is computed live; with no company data connected, assumptions read "pending" until their signal connects. A separate early-warning monitor for sudden shifts is not shown here yet.
Northstar
- Purpose
- Deliver every public project on quality, on schedule, and on budget.
- Vision
- Reliability compounds into reputation, self-perform margin, and public trust.
- Mission
- Make schedule, cost, quality, safety, cash, and trust visible early enough for human control.
- Aspiration
- Become the public-construction operating system for reliable delivery at scale.
Objectives
Deliver every project to quality, on schedule, and on budget.
Outcome: On-time, on-budget, defect-free delivery rate
Protect safety, occupied-campus trust, and delivery reputation.
Outcome: Incident-free record; owner satisfaction; reference and rebid rate
Preserve Fontaine margin and cash conversion while labor and materials stay volatile.
Outcome: Fee and margin vs baseline; cash conversion; EAC accuracy
Make self-perform craft capacity and productivity visible and controllable.
Outcome: Self-perform margin vs bid; craft utilization
Build institutional memory that survives project turnover and generational transition.
Outcome: Decision-lineage completeness; lessons-learned reuse rate
Assumption register (live threshold status)
| Assumption | Objective | Threshold metric | Limit | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Schedule slips are visible early enough to recover the date | Deliver every project to quality, on schedule, and on budget. | Critical-path variance | 1 | Pending company data |
| Budget/GMP deviations are caught through change control and EAC, not at closeout | Deliver every project to quality, on schedule, and on budget. | Variance beyond band vs GMP | 1 | Pending company data |
| Quality defects are caught and clustered before turnover | Deliver every project to quality, on schedule, and on budget. | Defect pattern at turnover window | 1 | Pending company data |
| Occupied-campus separation holds on active school sites | Protect safety, occupied-campus trust, and delivery reputation. | Any breach | 1 | Pending company data |
| Focus Four and hazmat hazards are stopped and corrected, never auto-cleared | Protect safety, occupied-campus trust, and delivery reputation. | Any open high-severity hazard | 1 | Pending company data |
| Owner actions and community concerns close before they become trust issues | Protect safety, occupied-campus trust, and delivery reputation. | Action overdue past SLA | 1 | Pending company data |
| Change is noticed within the contractual clock | Preserve Fontaine margin and cash conversion while labor and materials stay volatile. | Notice window closing unactioned | 1 | Pending company data |
| Cost-to-complete is forecast, not discovered at month-end | Preserve Fontaine margin and cash conversion while labor and materials stay volatile. | Variance beyond band | 1 | Pending company data |
| Public-work cash keeps moving through pay apps, waivers, certifieds and reimbursement | Preserve Fontaine margin and cash conversion while labor and materials stay volatile. | Missing backup, denial, or exception | 1 | Pending company data |
| Own-crew productivity is measured against a standard | Make self-perform craft capacity and productivity visible and controllable. | Variance beyond bid standard | 1 | Pending company data |
| Craft capacity is matched to demand across the portfolio | Make self-perform craft capacity and productivity visible and controllable. | Demand exceeds qualified capacity | 1 | Pending company data |
| Own-crew certified payroll and safety are compliant | Make self-perform craft capacity and productivity visible and controllable. | Exception or hazard | 1 | Pending company data |
| Every load-bearing decision is logged with predicted vs actual | Build institutional memory that survives project turnover and generational transition. | Close without outcome | 1 | Pending company data |
| Recurring issues cluster to a systemic fix | Build institutional memory that survives project turnover and generational transition. | Pattern repeats past threshold | 1 | Pending company data |
| No figure reaches a human without source and FACT/EST/GAP tag | Build institutional memory that survives project turnover and generational transition. | Number lacks source | 1 | Pending company data |

No threshold breaches. (Append ?demo=breach to see a live routed breach.)
