Decision ledgerInspect a branch's available schedule float
Identify how much delay a non-driving branch can absorb under a fixed network model.
The decision sets a specific permissible-delay boundary for one nondriving branch.

01 · Inspect the inputs
Every record stays visible
| Branch or gate | Earliest ready day | Required by |
|---|---|---|
| Design | 6 | Assembly start at 6 |
| Data | 4 | Assembly start at 6 |
| Assembly | 7 finish | Both inputs ready |

02 · Follow the reasoning
How the case leads to a decision
The merge is driven by day six. Data can move from day four to day six: two days of model float; a three-day delay would make it ready at seven and push final finish to eight.
The bounded result
The data branch has two model days of available delay before it would push assembly beyond day six. Keep that float conditional on the unchanged network.

Keep the reason with the decision
Illustrative decision recordSynthetic planning case: A six-day design branch and a four-day data branch feed a one-day assembly. The complete toy model has independent resources and a common start.
Up to two-day data delay
- Rationale and evidence
- Does not move the merge beyond day 6
- Revisit condition
- Recheck resource availability
Three-day data delay
- Rationale and evidence
- Data then drives a day-7 merge
- Revisit condition
- Replan final finish to day 8 or change assumptions
Decision to make: The data branch has two model days of available delay before it would push assembly beyond day six. Keep that float conditional on the unchanged network.

Filled manual planning note
Invented planning text. Adapt it to your evidence and confirmed owners.
The data branch has two model days of available delay before it would push assembly beyond day six. Keep that float conditional on the unchanged network. The merge is driven by day six. Data can move from day four to day six: two days of model float; a three-day delay would make it ready at seven and push final finish to eight. The float belongs to this complete deterministic model. A changed resource calendar or edge can alter it.
Put the outline to work
- Confirm the merge criterion. Check: Assembly requires both complete inputs.
- Calculate the allowable branch delay. Check: Day six minus day four leaves two model days under the unchanged network.
- Record the float-consuming change. Check: Any data delay above two days reopens the finish decision.
Questions about this workflow
Is float free capacity?
No. It is conditional schedule allowance, not extra people or permission to omit work.
Can several downstream edits each spend the same float?
Not independently. Recalculate the full affected network after changes.
Does this create tasks in the product?
No. The brief is a manual planning resource. Use the product access link to check onboarding and the workflows available in your account.
