**Open for correction, 9 September 2026.** The earlier acceptance of the core design and first-pass wiki has been withdrawn. The owner found three blocking problems: the design underdelivers the survivorslike genre, the wiki is difficult for a human reader, and fun, pressure, spectacle and emotional experience are inadequately developed.

Work has resumed on a revised pitch, a representative expedition and three spectacular build examples, with an independent combined review. The next readiness decision must address the owner's objections through concrete player experiences and readable current articles. Earlier coverage and consistency checks remain preparation evidence.

The [Design Plan](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Plan) states the acceptance criteria. [Progress](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Progress) holds the schedule and actual worker states. Earlier assessments remain in this page's revision history.
