Risk register table drafted against the new L.3.2(e) — likelihood × impact on all 11 risks, using the ISO 31000 framework from our T4NG sub work PP · T4NG sub 2024–26. In your review queue behind §M.4.

Drafted §M.4 Staffing & Surge overnight — the section scored separately at 15% §M.4 · p.16 and flagged in both of your loss debriefs (“insufficient corporate experience” at VA, thin staffing at Army). Built from the T4NG surge: 2 → 5 cleared staff in 3 weeks, retention letters attached PP · T4NG sub Win Theme #2. Approving lifts the section 31% → 78%.

CO's top concern in the Q&A was continuity of ATO support during transition Q&A #14 — made sure §3.2 leads with our zero-gap transition on the DHS help desk PPQ · DHS 5/26. @Bo the risk register is yours.

Milestone
Pink team passed. Technical volume 76% → 84%. Price locked at $4.62M — 6% below the incumbent task's run-rate from FPDS, and inside our own $5.0M size-class line FPDS · VA TAC history.
Meridian
Competitive read: Veritas (incumbent, ~80-person SDVOSB) will lead with continuity; their CPARS shows staffing-turnover weakness on this task. Your §M.4 + named key personnel attack it directly. Of the 4 likely SDVOSB bidders, two lack the required FedRAMP assessment past performance.

35%
P-WIN · TRENDING UP
▲6 this week — pink team pass + price locked under the incumbent run-rate. Honest odds for a size-class-up bid.
THE ONE GAP
⚠ §M.4 Staffing & Surge — 15% of score
Still 31% complete — and “thin staffing / corporate experience” sank both of your losses. Draft is ready — approving takes ~6 minutes and moves the volume to 97% compliant.

ASK THE THREAD
Q: “Why is our P-win only 35% if we're under their price?”
This is one size-class above your past performance — the same reason you lost the $1.4M VA test-environment bid. Veritas holds incumbency. Your path to 45%+: close §M.4 (15% of score, still red) and land the two named key-personnel letters.
