- 2026-07-24: Latest recalibration memo refined the specialist-partner landscape with a customer-side knowledge-transfer/black-box delivery caution.
- 2026-07-27: Rich/Andrew recalibration strengthened the nimble-boutique opening created by consolidated partner procurement and delivery friction.

The MAS migration ecosystem is partner-heavy. Named players include Cohesive, TRM, Interloc, Projetech, Pragma Edge, P2Insight, Naviam, and JFC & Associates. The July 27 recalibration strengthens the channel claim by adding founder/partner evidence that consolidation has made some formerly agile specialists feel harder to engage for small, practical work because of larger-company legal, procurement and process overhead.
The 2026-07-24 recalibration adds a community/event action: if Max Connect treats MREF/TRIRIGA as a serious wedge, it should validate and pursue the right IBM/community technical authorities for Maximo Unlocked 2 rather than publishing a facilities claim without expert proof.
