3	CN-1	1) Cargo planning methodology
4	CN-1a	a) Are the ground rules and assumptions in IC/U’s cargo planning methodology clearly stated in the cargo estimating plan?	IceCube Upgrade Logistics Cargo Estimation and Planning	Discussion of Logistics chain and shipping options within United States Antarctic Program (USAP). How to estimate, pack, label, document and ship materials for entry into USAP Cargo Tracking System.
5	CN-1b	b) Does the cargo planning methodology adequately address special handling requirements or constraints that will drive a specific transportation method?	IceCube Upgrade Logistics Cargo Estimation and Planning	(see shipping flowcharts)
6	CN-2	2) Specific Cargo needs:
7	CN-2a	a) Are the needs for individual cargo items appropriately substantiated? Are the items well documented, i.e., adequately described for use by logistical transport planners? Is the proposed cargo prioritization well substantiated?	ICU_cargo_master_spreadsheet	Excel list of all cargo, current location, when needed at pole, expected route, dimensions and weight, specific handling instructions (i.e. do not freeze, do not deep freeze)
8	CN-2b	b) Has UW taken appropriate steps to verify the completeness and cross-check of accuracy of their cargo list?	ICU_cargo_master_spreadsheet	List contains SME estimator and secondary validator.
9			Supporting Documentation	Contains details of packing sizes / weights for each item of cargo.
10	CN-3	3) Assess the adequacy of risk considerations in the cargo planning methodology:
11	CN-3a	a) How does the cargo plan incorporate risk mitigation planning (e.g., spare parts)? Are the risk planning methods appropriate or does the panel have suggestions for improvement?	IceCube Upgrade Logistics Risk Register and Sensitivity Matrix	Contains schedule risks for each item of cargo, risk mitigation, and allows modeling of overall risk
12	CN-3b	b) Does the methodology appropriately consider and reasonably quantify the variables and unknowns that enable “what if” analyses to be performed?		Additional "what if" analyses will be presented at review.

14	CN-3C	c) Is the UW assessment of the fuel requirement for drilling deep ice holes well substantiated, with an appropriate level of margin to mitigate risk?	ICU_Fuel_20211014.pdf	Describes how fuel is calculated
15			Gen 1 Fuel Reference	Reference documents from Original IceCube drilling
16	CN-4	4) Overall, is the IC/Upgrade's cargo method for estimating its cargo needs a reasonable approach? Does it utilize methods that have been successfully used for other projects in the Antarctic? Does the panel have any concerns about the estimating methods used?

3	OIL-1	1) Effort planning methodology:
4	OIL-1a	a) Are the ground rules and assumptions for people and labor effort in each location (McMurdo, South Pole) in Antarctica clearly stated in the estimating plan? Examine the methodology used to extrapolate labor estimates from original IceCube construction experience to the IC/U and advise on their appropriateness. Was the planning done by individuals with the appropriate skills and expertise?	Population planning.pdf
5	OIL-1b	b) Do the labor estimates identify types of labor needed using the same categorization as the IceCube Cost Estimating Plan?	ICU_population_master_spreadsheet.xlsx
6	OIL-2	2) Specific effort needs:
7	OIL-2a	a) Are the on-ice labor estimates appropriately substantiated and traceable to budget estimates?	Population planning.pdf

11	OIL-3b	b) Does the labor estimation methodology consider and reasonably quantify known risk factors other variables that enable “what if” analyses to be performed?	IceCube Upgrade Logistics Risk Register and Sensitivity Matrix
12	OIL-3C	c) Advise NSF on the soundness of plan for prioritizing among labor categories if NSF must revise its capabilities to support IC/U needs.
13	OIL-4	4) Overall, are the effort/people estimating plan (the methodology used to estimate the number of field team members, the labor categories, and the number and types of direct support contractors) a reasonable approach? Have the used planning methods been successfully applied to other projects in the Antarctic?

3	CC-1	1) Advise NSF on the validity of the logic linking IC/U’s requested cargo transport delivery sequence with IC/U's proposed schedule profile of people and effort needed in Antarctica (McMurdo and South Pole).		This is done by field season.
4	CC-2	2) Has IceCube appropriately considered and reasonably quantified the probabilities and impacts of the most important risk scenarios in its risk planning? Consider likely risk scenarios that could cause shortfalls in logistical capabilities (weather delays, shipping delays, extra material needs, aircraft availability, limited availability of key staff, etc.).	IceCube Upgrade Logistics Risk Register and Sensitivity Matrix	Contains schedule risks for each item of cargo, risk mitigation, and allows modeling of overall risks.
5	CC-2a	a) Has the IC/U team appropriately utilized the sensitivity analysis methods incorporated in the cargo and people planning to credibly forecast the contributions of the cargo and effort budgets to a Total Project Cost (TPC) with a 90% confidence level budget and schedule, given the forecast impacts of known risks. (Note, the TPC estimate will be assessed at the rebaseline review planned for Feb-March 2022.)

6	CC-2b	b) Is the sensitivity analysis traceable?
