Estimates are estimates for a good reason. They are educated projections at a current time of what is going to happen in the future and how long each step and what dependencies and impacts other tasks and events are going to come into play. Some tasks and events are internal and you can have more control or influence on, and others are external, etc..
Project plans sometimes change based on what actually is happening.
I’m sure many people here have had direct experience in projects, including home projects.
S__t happens, might be a familiar refrain.
Ok, some are better at planning and estimating than others and some projects are more complex.
A first of a kind trial where even the FDA is learning along the way, and involving a tiny company that was an easy target for unfriendly interests, and not flush with cash, and we hold this company to our strict interpretation of their steps and milestones?
It’s quite an accomplishment to get across the finish line at all, and no doubt shareholders have been slighted along the way and strung along some to keep things going. How many of us would still be here if we thought the trial would be 10 years+ long. NWBO probably didn’t think it would be that long either when the trial was launched.
Anyway it is what it is, and what it has been. The success or failure of this trial is imminent and we all believe the shareholder outcome will be binary, whether a number of days or weeks longer. Success should be very rewarding and failure wipes this investment out.
Each one of us have to make our best decisions for our individual situation. I decided a number of years ago that I’d stick it out to the end, and celebrate or accept the losses unless it was clear the science wouldn’t be good enough.
