Bring to the review

An authorized use case; environment owner; technical and operational reviewers; hardware and connectivity constraints; evidence requirements; timing and procurement questions. Do not send credentials.

Acceptance gates

Governed signing custody; exact-platform validation; applicable external resilience controls and audit witnesses; exercised recovery; independent review. Evidence must identify the baseline and remaining exceptions.

Agree before work starts

Scope, participants, permitted activities, stop conditions, equipment, fees, schedule, outputs, and support. No standard evaluation duration or support commitment is implied.

Decision to record

Proceed, request more evidence, defer, or decline. Name the acceptance owner and any unresolved conditions. A product overview does not authorize testing or approve production use.
