Primary finding
CriticalNorthstar demand may not be executable
$5.0M of forecasted incremental revenue is unsupported by current production capacity.
Demand / forecast
$12.0M
1,200 units × $10,000
Base production capacity
$7.0M
2,800 bottleneck CNC hours ÷ 4.0 hrs per unit = 700 units
Committed component support
$8.5M
850 specialized control modules
The full 1,200-unit Northstar Equipment request was included in the February forecast before operational evidence supported execution. Sales and finance carry $12.0M of demand; supply chain has committed components for 850 units; operations can execute 700 units on base capacity. Three individually reasonable views have not been reconciled into one executable number.
The recovery path has not been validated yet.
