Questions we ask
  • Are product details and compatibility rules complete?

Prices come from approved sources.

Review before sending

Sales checks product fit, terms, pricing, and any exceptions.

Source access follows existing permissions. Requests, retrieved content, and tool outputs are treated as data; they do not grant new permissions. Diagnostic records use approved retention and redact sensitive content.
