A research pack for deciding which ERP readiness gaps must close before each deployment gate. It shows how to sequence deployment against a vendor support deadline and build the business case on evidence that has been classified and traced, not on optimism.
What this research pack covers
Inside are a decision frame with conditions for use, an inputs table and evidence hierarchy, and a scoring method with anchors and a must-close rule. A slack test sets sequencing against the support deadline, and an option comparison keeps cash and capacity apart. Gate, risk, KPI and execution tables are included, along with editable registers for assumptions, sources, research questions and readiness gaps. A synthetic worked example, a failure case and a practice exercise complete the pack.
