Identify the user, accountable lead and buyer
Users, beneficiaries and budget owners are often different people. A project starts by defining the organizational problem, accountability and procurement scope. Knowledge retention, project progress and sharing offer clearer team-level goals than generating more text for one person.
Define data boundaries and tool access
List project files, databases, literature sources, model services and specialist tools. Define deployment location, external data access, permissions and actions requiring human confirmation. Private deployment boundaries belong in the concrete plan, rather than a general claim of data security.
Inspect delivery through real tasks
Choose a routine institutional task, such as source-linked literature investigation, project archiving or a progress summary. Review process, evidence and output. Acceptance considers both completion and the team’s ability to continue using and maintaining the system.
Daily use reveals the next requirement
Research Claw currently earns revenue through FDE custom development. New projects, materials and tools create follow-on adaptation and service opportunities, each with a defined scope and delivery responsibility. FDE also keeps the product team close to institutional work beyond the initial purchase.
