A business workflow—not a legal contract, accounting system, worker-classification decision, tax service, payment processor, security review, or platform-approved template.
The pre-start rule
No signed/funded baseline, no project start.
The onboarding gate checks scope, exclusions, acceptance, commercial terms, contract status, funding, platform restrictions, confidentiality, least-privilege access, owners, and review cadence. If authority, payment, legality, security, or the next approval is unclear, the workflow stops.
