# On-time vs. late is judged against the Original Estimate
|
|
|
|
A Feature's first committed delivery week (the **Original Estimate**, `◯`) is the immovable baseline for deciding whether a **Delivery** is on-time (`◉`) or late (`▲`). **Re-estimates** (`△`) are recorded and stay visible as slips, but they never move the baseline.
|
|
|
|
We chose this over judging against the most recent re-estimate because the Macroplan's purpose is to be an honest record of estimation accuracy and a source of **Learning** — judging against the latest re-plan would let the goalposts move and erase the very signal we want to keep. The trade-off is that it's less kind to the team (you can hit your re-plan and still read as late), which we accept deliberately.

## Consequences
|
|
|
|
- Every Feature must retain its Original Estimate for its whole lifetime, independent of any number of Re-estimates.
|
|
- The full slip history is preserved on the row (`◯` + every `△`), so the gap between promise and reality stays legible.
