Programme decisions can no longer be traced years later.
In aerospace and defense, programmes run for years to decades, with changing people on both sides. Decisions must still be traceable after ten years, which sets documentation requirements no standard CRM meets out of the box.
Access is strictly governed: who may see which document follows clearances and, in part, export control. A system with organically grown permissions is not untidy here, it is a finding.
The supply chain is deep and supplier qualification is laborious. Where anyone stands in the qualification process is a question many spreadsheets answer, none of them bindingly.
