Manufacturing should be governed by readiness conditions — not urgency alone.
A factory can be full of activity while the wrong work is being pushed forward. Busy is not the same as ready.
Manufacturing should start when the required conditions are satisfied — site measure complete, current drawing approved, critical procurement known, blocking change resolved — not only when a date feels urgent.
State ≠ readiness.
When readiness is clear, the factory can work with calm direction. When it is not, urgency becomes a substitute for control.
This is why JoinOS separates what is known from what is ready — so the factory can work from conditions, not pressure alone.
