Engagement Scoping FAQ

How are engagement deliverables verified?

Every milestone concludes with a live engineering playback session. We walk through executable configuration code, runner execution traces, and architecture decision records together with your team.

What repository access is needed?

We operate under strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). We request read-only access to CI configuration manifests, Dockerfiles, and IaC repositories, or conduct audits via screenshare during on-site sessions.
