+## Notes
+
+- Start date assumed: `2025-10-15` to reflect a mid-October project start.
+- Final deadline set to: `2026-04-17`.
+- The chart assumes a major scope shift in mid-November that forced the team to revisit requirements and refactor the platform.
+- The refactor is treated as a real disruption rather than a minor iteration, so the later phases are shown as a rebuild on firmer architecture rather than a straight continuation of the original prototype.
+- This is an "idealised but realistic" plan for documentation purposes, not a claim that every task happened exactly in this order.
