Engagement entry points

Where an engagement usually starts.

Every sector engagement begins the same way: a scoped discovery or readiness assessment that produces a documented, prioritised roadmap. From there, the usual path is a controlled pilot, implementation, and a managed SLA with quarterly improvement reviews.
