1. Purpose
This document defines the core information required for issues that have progressed to Flightplan. At this stage, the issue has been thoroughly discussed, and the focus shifts to structured planning, feasibility assessment, and implementation strategy. This framework ensures that solutions are concrete, viable, and actionable.
2. Core Flightplan Information Requirements
All Flightplan proposals must include key details that ensure clarity, feasibility, and accountability. The following categories define the baseline requirements for all proposals.
2.1 Project Scope & Objectives
- Summary of the Issue – A brief overview of the problem being addressed.
- Proposed Solution – A high-level description of the recommended course of action.
- Expected Outcomes – Defined goals and measurable success indicators.
- Stakeholder Analysis – Identification of key impacted groups and stakeholders.
2.2 Financial Considerations
- Budget Requirements – Estimated financial needs for project execution.
- Funding Sources – Possible sources of funding (public, private, grants, crowdfunding, etc.).
- CapEx vs. OpEx Classification – Identification of whether the project is capital expenditure (CapEx) or operational expenditure (OpEx).
- Cost-Benefit Analysis – Assessment of the financial viability of the project.
2.3 Timeline & Milestones
- Projected Start & Completion Dates – Expected duration of project execution.
- Key Milestones & Deliverables – Breakdown of major implementation phases.
- Dependency Mapping – Identification of critical dependencies that could impact progress.
2.4 Regulatory & Compliance Considerations
- Permits & Approvals Required – List of legal or governmental permits necessary for implementation.
- Compliance Requirements – Regulatory policies or legal frameworks the project must adhere to.
- Environmental & Social Impact Assessments – If applicable, identification of risks and mitigations.
2.5 Vendor & Resource Planning
- Proposed Vendors & Suppliers – Identification of potential partners, contractors, or service providers.
- Resource Allocation – Estimation of human and material resources needed.
- Procurement Strategy – Approach for acquiring necessary assets.
2.6 Implementation & Risk Management
- Implementation Plan – Step-by-step breakdown of how the solution will be executed.
- Risk Assessment & Mitigation Strategies – Identification of risks, likelihood of occurrence, and mitigation measures.
- Fallback & Contingency Plans – Alternative approaches in case of project failure or roadblocks.
2.7 Public & Community Engagement
- Public Awareness & Involvement Strategy – How the community will be informed and engaged in the project.
- Feedback & Iteration Mechanisms – Ways to gather public input and refine execution.
- Post-Implementation Review – Process for evaluating project success and lessons learned.
3. Flexibility & Adaptability
This framework serves as a baseline template for all Flightplan issues but remains flexible enough to adapt to specific project needs. Some projects may require additional sections based on complexity, regulatory needs, or stakeholder requirements.
4. Conclusion
By ensuring that all Flightplan proposals meet these core criteria, Canuckduck enables structured, data-driven decision-making that enhances transparency, accountability, and execution success. The framework ensures that ideas evolve into fully actionable, viable solutions.
