| What we see | Why it hurts | What we do instead |
|---|---|---|
| The quality manual rewritten to draft wording | Rewritten again when the final text differs; two rounds of training | Put the records in place now; hold the wording (chapter 3) |
| A transition plan with calendar dates nobody published | The first moved date costs the plan its credibility | Windows counted from the month the final text is published |
| Nonconformities written against the draft in internal audits | Corrective actions nobody is obliged to take; the registrar ignores them | Transition observations, carried to the matrix (chapter 10) |
| Counterfeit training for receiving only | The buyer who places the rush order with a broker is untrained | All four functions, by name (chapter 7, theme 2) |
| Backups that have never been restored | Records lost when they are needed most | A restore test this week (chapter 7, theme 6) |
| Supplier levels decided but never told to the supplier | Nothing changes in the supplier's shop | A letter or PO line, with a copy kept (chapter 7, theme 3) |
| A self-check answered from memory | Overturned by the first sample; management stops trusting it | Every answer names the record looked at (chapter 6) |
| The transition run as a separate project | It loses to deliveries every time | Twenty minutes a month in the production meeting (chapter 11) |
| A readiness percentage with weights nobody can explain | The meeting argues about the method | Plain counts and a share of applicable items shown (chapter 9) |

IA9100 draft: based on the IAQG's published changes. IA9100 is not yet final, and the final text may change these topics and clause numbers.
A management aid, not certification or a registrar audit. Using it does not by itself show conformity to AS9100D or any other standard, and your customers' requirements may add to it.
Clause numbers refer to AS9100D (SAE AS9100 Rev D) unless another document is named. The standards' text is not reproduced here: use your own licensed copy.
Aegis Insights are our own guidance, labeled wherever they appear: how we approach this work, not a requirement of any standard or customer.
