Agree the decision, context, stakeholders and timing.

Review available records and identify information to verify.

Important distinction
Commercial advice, not legal representation
Licensing analysis, entitlement reviews, optimisation work, renewal preparation, licensing risk assessment and audit preparation support are commercial advisory activities. They are not legal representation, and we do not guarantee a particular audit or publisher outcome.
