Thanks Wolfgang. Hope you are doing well.

Yes, POD means Proof Of Design. It is an ancient term having been used
extensively during midEVIL times during the last century. Most people in the
military and aerospace communities used the term as meaning design
verification, as in ISO, meeting design intent, and validation as meeting
customer contract requirements.

I, when consulting, use the term to describe what I do. Hell, It's who I am.
Not much interest in POD, as a term, but increasing in other words as we
seek higher quality, more reliable product. Though the term POD has not made
a significant come back, the term SOW has. It is a big part of POD. Everyone
knows what a SOW is.
