This will save you from adding the date every time you talk about when something was promised, promised to be completed and actually completed.
Just like the rest of the lazy ass shareholders on here I have to do the work for you.
NRE Stated as Funded - July 20th, 2013
The NRE, which I believe is the most important and most critical, to the success of the project has been funded. This is a great time for the company and all of its shareholders.
+ 9 Weeks (Chip Samples)- Chip samples delivered in 9 weeks;
....
September 19 was week 38
Week 38, Chip samples delivered in 9 weeks;
38+9=47
Low-volume chip production starting in 12 weeks, using an e-beam process;
38+12=50
And so on.
As you know, we are in week 45 right now. You can always add the date, but using calendar week numbers makes it really easy to follow, what is happening and when results are expected.
As an example: "I expect the delivery on week 46 12.11.2013, and by week 49 blaa blaa blaa."
46+3=49
Week numbers are awesome stuff, if used correctly.
