ModerateCan potentially cause some disruption of schedule, increased cost, or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.

In both locations the left and right screens must be changed simultaneously

Build briefings with an equal number of left and right slides

Blank slides should be solid black

Chartsmanship: Be consistent!
