# Preparing the inputs may be the main part of the work.

All stories are fictional. They do not describe specific people, companies or projects. Any resemblance is coincidental.

A company wants to test search across internal documents. Files live in different systems, some are outdated and some have restricted access. A demonstration works on a few files, but permitted use and responsibility for keeping the information current remain unresolved.

## Where we could start

Gather input requirements and involve the owners of access, security and content. Agree a limited test collection, information owners and an update process. Pass the requirements to technical specialists without substituting for their professional judgments.

## What you would have

An agreed test collection with defined access conditions and responsibility for its content.

## Participants

The requester, responsible participants and the specialists the task requires.

## Roles and decisions

Scope and authority are agreed for the task. Relevant specialists provide technical and professional assessments.

## Factual experience, separate from the fictional story
