臭鼬工厂现有的检验已经通过了空军和海军的认证，达到了现有军用标准，一定要沿用到新项目上。将基础的检验交给分包商做，不要重复做这么多检验。（即使在商界大家也都认可质量是来自于设计和负责任的操作而不是来自于检验）
9. The contractor must be delegated the authority to test his final product in flight. He can and must test it in the initial stages. If he doesn't, he rapidly loses his competency to design other vehicles. (Critical, if new technology and the attendant risks are to be rationally accommodated.)
供应商必须负责他所供应的产品在项目各个阶段的测试，直至试飞。他能够也必须从项目最初阶段就进行测试，如果他不这样做，下次招标就没他的事情了。 （非常重要，如果有新的技术，那随之而来的风险必须合理转移安置）
10. The specifications applying to the hardware must be agreed to well in advance of contracting. The Skunk Works practice of having a specification section stating clearly which important military specification items will not knowingly be complied with and reasons therefore is highly recommended. (Standard specifications inhibit new technology and innovation, and are frequently obsolete.)
硬件的技术指标一定要在签合同前明确。臭鼬工厂会预先清晰的列出那些军事规格将不会被采用和不采用的原因和建议。 （标准指标会抑制新技术和创新，而且这些指标经常过时了）
11. Funding a program must be timely so that the contractor doesn't have to keep running to the bank to support government projects. (Responsible management requires knowledge of and freedom to use, the resources originally committed.)
资助一个项目必须持续，这样供应商就不需要总跑银行去接政府项目。 （有责任的管理包括对先前承诺的资源的的自由支配）
12. There must be mutual trust between the military project organization and the contractor, the very close cooperation and liaison on a day-to-day basis. This cuts down misunderstanding and correspondence to an absolute minimum. (The goals of the customer and producer should be the same get the job done well.)
在军事项目公司和供应商之间必须有相互的信任。在一天一天的合作基础上建立的信任可以将误解降低至最小。 （客户和生产商的目标应该统一为把工作完美的完成）
13. Access by outsiders to the project and its personnel must be strictly controlled by appropriate security measures. (This is a program manager’s responsibility even if no program security demands are made - a cost avoidance measure.)
必须严格控制外部接触项目的人，需要设定响应的安全权限。（这是一个项目经理的责任，即使没有项目由于经费没有预设安全权限）
