Assemble Technical Specifications and Partner Agreements
Collect all existing API documentation, data governance policies, IP register entries, and draft partner integration terms. Collate current architecture diagrams, data flow maps, and historical partner conversation notes into a single working environment.
Gathering these inputs provides an empirical foundation for assessing partnership readiness rather than relying on qualitative assumptions. It ensures all technical, legal, and operational dependencies are visible before committing resource to partner workflows.
A centralised repository of technical documentation, architecture schematics, IP filings, and sample integration terms. The founder must demonstrate that all technical defensibility claims are backed by audited internal documentation.
