- Production implementation
- Ongoing program management

AUTHORIZE
Issue a written proposal with deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, timeline, acceptance, and payment terms.
EXECUTE
Collect evidence, conduct the work, preserve decisions, surface constraints, and manage controlled changes.
ACCEPT
Review every agreed deliverable and criterion; return unresolved work instead of disguising it as complete.
PROVE
Deliver the evidence package, decision record, next-action route, and engagement closeout receipt.
Put the real operating context on the table.
The audit asks the questions required to determine fit and scope. Submitting it does not create an engagement or expose production credentials.
