To determine what time is available for the new proposals, I first have to build an Available Time Model (ATM) for my facility. The ATM needs to know about pre-committed time from previous approved proposals (e.g., multi-semester, monitoring), sponsored time, maintenance periods, tests, and then also carry-over from the previous semester. I want to be able to import files to specify this information, inspect the imported information, and modify it on the fly as I need. The ATM also depends on the weather and the hardware sometimes (e.g., VLA configuration).
...
Now that I have the ATM, I can start to assess how the new requests will fit into it. I will need to modify the requests but I want to preserve the original request too. I likely will need to do detailed modifications, like to the sources, resources, or requested time, but sometimes I only want to do broad changes, such as total time. Sometimes these changes will have profound impacts on the intent of the request so I want to make sure I can let the PI and the TAC know about these proposed changes. My main intent is to determine preliminary scheduling priorities and to make sure the information needed for the TAC is accurate.

| As a scheduler I want to provide a narrative about the ATM for my facility so the TAC understands the available time. |

| As a Scheduler I want to create a Proposal Summary so there is concise summary of the scheduling priorities for the TAC. |
