Most manufacturers still park the program schedule in a rented PPM spreadsheet while CAD and PLM keep their own revision story. Gantt bars drift. Milestones argue with the traveler. When the board asks which part revision the gate was signed against, the answer is a connector and a screenshot. That is not a schedule on the vault. That is a rented timeline arguing with the part.
N23D puts PMO schedule and Gantt milestones on the same local-first vault and part revision as CAD — one native Rust binary, not a collage of PPM seats glued to PLM by nightly sync. Sign-in can stay familiar Microsoft Entra ID; the milestone does not need a vendor cloud as the system of record. Permanent license, not another schedule tax every time the geometry moves a millimeter.
Homepage pass/fail stays blunt: One platform. Full digital thread. If the board still signs gates that cannot point at the same revision CAD released because schedule and PLM will not share one record, we failed. The stack header on n23d.com is the product shape, not a postcard of suites you rent forever.
Demand one binary that can carry a part from sketch through gate without inventing a second identity for the milestone. That is the Rust-native bar — and that is N23D.
