The direct answer

An agreed plan can be detailed and persuasive without being implemented. Describing planned capabilities as current features creates false confidence.

Start with the evidence

Review verbs and status labels in the proposal, report and website. Identify which items have published evidence and which await approval.

Make the change deliberately

Use explicit proposed, in progress and verified states. Update the status only when its completion condition has been met.
