    Project Summary: Sailor's Bay

    Please provide me with a project status report for #Sailor's Bay Pier Renovation (FF).

    Risk summary (data-signal-based)

    • Billing risk: Elevated - WIP exists while billed is $0 in the last-6-full-month window (2025-07-01 to 2026-01-01).
    • Schedule / resourcing risk: Medium - sparse recent transactions suggests slowed execution or missing capture.
    • Financial risk: Watch - billed-to-effort > 1 can be normal for FF, but monitor against remaining contract.

    3 suggested next steps

    1. WIP clean-up + invoice push: validate WIP makeup and move eligible items to Ready-to-Bill / issue progress billing.
    2. Reconcile plan vs execution: confirm work is actually progressing and that recent costs/billing are flowing correctly.
    3. Refresh forecast (ETC/EAC): validate remaining scope and update assumptions.
