How a license is granted
An inquiry comes in through the form.
A proposal is prepared for the specific framework, use, and tier.

The framework document is delivered on execution and payment, with an annual compliance summary thereafter.
Agreements are prepared to professional standard and reviewed by counsel before execution.
