RAG Commentary
Time is amber: data gathering within Discovery phase is in progress and until this completes there is uncertainty about project milestones. Cost is amber: grant calculator functionality has the potential to be a significant task, and we will be clearer of how much effort will be required once the feasibility study and estimates are completed. Overall is amber for reasons above.
