Vessel Launch Readiness Score with hull structural completion score of 23 1-10: a worked example

Push hull structural completion score up to 23 1-10 and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it at the pre-launch gate review to objectively assess whether a vessel meets minimum completion criteria for safe launch and initial sea trials.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Hull structural completion score: 23 1-10 (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 9)
  • Systems installation score: 7 1-10 (unchanged)
  • Functional testing score: 6 1-10 (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Launch readiness score = hull completion x systems installation x functional testing) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 13.15 score for launch readiness composite score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 23 score for hull structural completion.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 7 score for systems installation progress.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 6 score for functional testing status.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where hull structural completion score sits at 9 1-10 and the headline result is 7.55 score, this scenario comes in 74.17% above the baseline at 13.15 score.
  • It multiplies hull completion, systems installation, and functional testing scores (each 1-10) into one composite launch readiness score. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Launch readiness composite score: 13.15 score (headline result)
  • Hull structural completion: 23 score
  • Systems installation progress: 7 score
  • Functional testing status: 6 score
