This protects the client and DeepMoat from premature access, vague build expectations, and accidental overbuild.
01
Private materials wait
Repo, cloud, credentials, customer data, regulated data, patent material, NDA-covered files, and private systems wait until a paid scope defines what should be reviewed and why.
02
Deeper review is scoped separately
Document review, technical diligence, architecture, prototype work, and build pricing begin only after Signal Triage identifies the boundary.
03
Larger work is routed
When the matter warrants a larger paid read, DeepMoat confirms fit, team, timing, travel, and written scope before scheduling.
