Previous research on completed defense RD shows that contract
expenditures can be fit well with a Rayleigh model. With fixed
outlay rates, as prescribed by the OSD comptroller, the budget
profile must have most of the funds in the early years to produce
Rayleigh-distributed expenditures. RD programs with more delayed
funding profiles may also produce expenditures that a Rayleigh
model fits through schedule slips and cost overruns. This research
tests how well the initial funding profile produces
Rayleigh-distributed expenditures that can be related to the
program's final cost overrun and schedule slips. Based only on the
initial budget profile, we explain 53.4% of cost overruns and 50.5%
of percent schedule slip in 37 completed programs.
