Why high modelling-completion figures did not establish a stable design

The diagram distinguishes 3D modelling completion from module construction, exposing the problem of building against a design that keeps changing.

Notes

The module diagram separates levels of 3D modelling completion from the modules actually under construction. Its categories are described as above 90 percent, above 75 percent, 56-75 percent, and 50-55 percent complete, while dashed outlines identify construction work. The critique questions whether a nearly completed model remains a meaningful indicator when the underlying design continues changing. Modules described as above 90 percent complete were also affected by pauses attributed to design changes. That leaves a difference between having drawings for a module and having a configuration stable enough to build. The percentages are treated as claims about modelling progress, rather than proof that the corresponding portion of the ship had been constructed.
