# The deal looks approved, but contracting has not been mapped

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

Stakeholders have agreed on scope and price in principle. Nobody has checked supplier onboarding, data-security review, legal redlines or signature authority.

## Where we could start

I would first map the known facts, stakeholders and missing decisions, then identify the most useful next question without treating uncertainty as a sales failure.

## What you would have

A concise situation brief with facts, assumptions, questions and a possible next step.

## Participants

Commercial owner, buyer procurement representative and relevant legal/security specialists.

## Roles and decisions

Qualified specialists own legal and technical advice. I help identify and coordinate the questions and dependencies.

## Factual experience, separate from the fictional story
