It Is Sunday Night and 3 of Monday's Activities Have No Confirmed Materials
It is 9:47 PM Sunday. Tomorrow at 6 AM, 23 workers show up expecting to work. The masonry crew needs 4 pallets of block — the supplier said “should be there Monday” but nobody confirmed it. Your PM is at home. Your project management software shows all of Monday's activities as “scheduled.” It has no concept of material readiness.

"Scheduled" does not mean "ready"Masonry crew on site. No block. Nobody called.
The block delivery is on a truck that left the supplier yard at 5:45. ETA 7:30. The crew stands idle for 75 minutes at full rate — $1,350 in wages buying nothing. The PM finds out when they arrive at 7:00.
$1,350 idle wages — first 75 minMEP crew needs conduit. Still on a truck in Nevada.
The conduit that was supposed to be delivered Friday is still in transit. The MEP team has no materials. They are reassigned to punch list work, pulling them from their scheduled activities.
$920 more idle cost accumulatingThree activities impacted. All were "scheduled" Friday.
Exterior framing: lumber cancelled. Nobody found a substitute supplier over the weekend. The crew arrives, finds nothing to work with, and waits 2 hours. By 9 AM, three of Monday's nine planned activities have produced zero output. Your PM software: all three show "in progress."

Know Before 6 AM — Not After
Per-activity material readiness
MaterialReadiness checks every planned activity against its required materials — confirmed, staged, and in the right location. "Scheduled" and "ready" are two different scores. You need both.
Sunday night 6-pillar score
ReadyToWorkScore runs every Sunday evening across 6 site-start pillars. It identifies unconfirmed deliveries, unstaged materials, and permit gaps at 9 PM Sunday — 9 hours before the crew cost clock starts.
PM alert before 6 AM
When Sunday's ReadyToWorkScore falls below 75, POD automatically alerts the PM. The alert includes which specific activities are at risk and which materials are unconfirmed — so the PM can act before 6 AM, not after.
