Day 1 Readiness Check

Questions about the Day 1 preparations you have chosen to make for your program. Your answers are organised into counts by area; nothing is added to them. No sign-in needed.

These are operational questions about your own choices.

The four answers

Confirmed
You indicate this is settled for your program.
Unresolved
You indicate it remains open.
Unknown
You do not currently know.
