You might be joking here but in case you're not, there is serious configuration control and change management at play. Documents go into a controlled repository, are watermarked, and have other protections applied to them. Anyone trying this especially on a government contract is risking a lot.
- neilv 2y agoYep, I was speaking vaguely, of a non-aerospace, non-government enterprise salesperson, quietly modifying a copy of an engineering assurances document, before handing off the copy to a partner. Right after being told that things are written as they are for good reasons, and there's traceability, and how this is good for our credibility, and the exact way things were done is a big win for our engineering agility. I brought small bits of inspiration from aerospace engineering there, but sometimes an organization has surprise pockets of more remedial learning that are needed. Like the lesson of, "You can't just say whatever you think will have a good vibe with the partner/customer in the moment, when it's about engineering, contracts, etc."
