# What if you only have ten business days?


**Run a triage, not a compressed claim of comprehensive diligence.** Narrow the decision to one urgent gap and one challenger, and reserve roughly 24–40 staff hours as a planning allowance—not an industry benchmark.

- **Days 1–2:** establish notice deadlines, scope, baseline and trial permissions.
- **Days 3–5:** inspect a small authorised player sample and the critical competition-seasons.
- **Days 6–7:** repeat the essential task, check critical identities and review intended-use rights.
- **Days 8–9:** obtain a comparable quote and test the proposed fallback.
- **Day 10:** decide whether to retain, stop, request a short extension or approve a tightly conditioned next phase.

Do not infer whole-platform coverage, model validity or production integration readiness from this exercise. If essential rights or continuity remain unresolved, preserve a lawful operational fallback rather than forcing a platform migration to meet an artificial deadline.
