Before you send the sample.

Ten questions to make your next step clearer. Check only what you can support with evidence. This self-assessment stays in your browser.

First, the release questions.

I can trace the authority to license the data.Source agreements and restrictions are documented for the proposed use.

Privacy, confidentiality, and restricted material have been reviewed.Unresolved release questions have an owner and are closed before sharing.

The sample itself is cleared for the intended recipient and use.A production license later does not settle permissions for a sample now.

I can name the buyer’s specific task.The offer explains what the data helps the buyer do or measure.

A field dictionary explains the product.Types, units, time zones, missing values, and labels are defined.

Coverage and exclusions are written down.Dates, sources, regions, segments, and known gaps are visible.

Quality claims come with measurements.Checks include the version, method, counts, and denominators.

Delivery and updates can be supported.The version, refresh schedule, correction process, and owner are clear.

The proposed commercial scope is clear.Uses, term, price, recipients, and service obligations are specified.

There is a bounded next step.The pilot has an evaluation, a decision owner, and an end date.

Rights, privacy, or sample permissions are still unchecked. Work through those questions before sharing real records.

Checking a box records your assessment. It does not verify a permission, establish compliance, approve a release, or predict a sale.

Rumors circulate. Knowledge compounds.
