Over Simplification
The previous diagram
- Is good for purposes of illustrating the concept

- And time to slow down at the end
-
Presenting progress in the form of an "S" curve
- As shown in the diagram on the next page
Hence the result described on page 9
- Is probably quite typical
- For the first reporting period
