They would like each MAC to fill out this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZL7-HWZUJ-8BdXnybZBo4CnNMaKSJeXiaYsLTrVklBE/edit?gid=1797195653#gid=1797195653
The idea is to harmonize procedures across all MACs as we start to ramp up.
MACs are expected to get a shipment of ~50 baseplates in the next 2 weeks, they want us to get ready to build modules with those and exercise all the procedures, followed by large numbers of thermal cycles of those modules in order to fully stress test them and check that all MACs are seeing the same thing.
