CT fill: . . Do not use a mixed-format five-year sales benchmark as annual plant orders. CT production after stand-up requires the release schedule.

Y1–3: CV volume + CT Row A titles outsourced; Y4–7: remaining CV horizon in-house. CapEx is charged once during stand-up; no plant saving is counted in outsource years.
