Consult Commercial

Consult Commercial -- Commercial Pack Section

Duration, options, assumptions, path from proposal → SOW → kickoff: roles, cadence, escalation.

Inputs

Optional: timeln-shipped, timeln-decided for precedent duration or past access assumptions -- cite or no record.

Workflow

1. Duration -- per option if still open (MVP/Pilot/Full), else single track. Use ranges with drivers (unknowns listed).
2. Commercial options -- align names to consult-arc; what is included / excluded per option (short bullets).
3. Assumptions -- access (systems, data, people), environments, locations, security reviews, legal; mark dependency vs working assumption.
4. Mobilization -- proposal → SOW → kickoff checklist; pre-kickoff deliverables from client side.
5. RACI-lite -- who decides, who does daily work, who escalates; match gate/acceptance owners where possible.
6. Cadence -- standing meetings, reporting, written status; escalation path (when to pause billing / stop work) if appropriate.
7. Change control -- one paragraph: how scope/time shifts propagate (reference gates).
