**Work resumed on 9 September 2026. Updated 18:45 Jerusalem.** The team is correcting the game direction following the owner's review. Automatic PM checks are active.

The next owner delivery is a revised pitch, an expedition with convincing horde pressure and discovery, and three spectacular build examples. It must address all three blockers: survivorslike scale and urgency, human-readable explanations, and concrete reasons for fun, challenge and emotional payoff.

| Task | Owner | Status | Target, Jerusalem |

| 43 — Independent review | Reviewer | Criteria saved; ready to review both drafts | Combined critique 20:15, range 19:40–20:45; 45–75 minutes after both submissions |

**43 tracked design outcomes: 37 preparation-closed, 1 reopened readiness outcome, 2 parked drafts, 3 assigned correction outcomes.** All three roles have confirmed receipt: Systems is drafting; Lead has submitted and stopped; the Reviewer has saved independent criteria and awaits both submissions. These counts describe writing and review outcomes, not the percentage of the game complete. The temporary wiki assistant's reading map is PM support, not another design outcome or permanent role.

| Milestone | Working target | Plausible window | Dependency |

Confidence is low for the first two targets and very low for detailed campaign design. Dates assume the existing three roles and PM remain available, approximately 6–8 active hours per working day, and consequential owner feedback within a working day. An earlier useful proposal will be delivered immediately. These are design estimates; development has a separate authorization and schedule.

| Phase | 9 Sep | 10 Sep | 13–17 Sep | Following weeks |

**What changed:** the earlier 9 September readiness declaration was withdrawn after the owner's three critical objections. The old 10 November detailed-design target has moved to a provisional 17 November and its range widened to allow for mechanical and content rework. This extra allowance is a planning judgment, not measured remaining effort. Previous forecasts remain in page history and the PM forecast checkpoint.

Read the [Design Plan](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Plan) for the correction's acceptance criteria and [Design Coverage](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Coverage) for the affected areas. [Design readiness](/Hold%20The%20Flood/V1%20Readiness) remains open. The five earlier unanswered owner choices remain unresolved; they do not prevent this correction work.
