Decisions (10)

  • Print Aurora with Calder Print, because Roughly four days faster to the doorstep across two independent runs, no colour drift against Halstead's four flagged runs, and commercially near neutral once carriage is included.
  • Require a contractual delivery commitment before signature, because Changing printer for delivery without a delivery clause carries no remedy.
  • Change over across three issues, supplements first, because Each stage keeps a fallback to Halstead, limiting the risk to any one issue.
  • Hold the digital edition redesign until Aurora ships, because Production capacity is committed to the changeover through October.
  • Serve notice to Halstead before 30 September, because A 90 day termination clause triggers a 12 month auto renewal if missed.
  • No printer change without a one page rationale for Marcus, because Publisher approval requires a concise, evidence backed case.
  • Trial an alternative printer side by side, because Arrival times were getting worse and 70 per cent of the delay sat after editorial.
  • Do not accept the two year renewal offer, because A 4 per cent discount with no delivery guarantee locks in the problem.
  • Measure the full press to doorstep timeline before judging the printer, because Opinion was outrunning evidence; no printer decision without measurement.
  • Stay with Halstead for now, because Cost advantage and low changeover risk; late arrivals treated as a watch item.
