Service scope

Service constraints
Delivery relies on collaboration. Buyers must provide timely access to stakeholders, documentation, Databricks workspaces, cloud subscriptions, secure connectivity, and approvals for governance, security, and change. Timelines vary with data readiness, platform complexity, test‑data availability, and third‑party tools/licences. Setup/migration are included only when scoped and may be constrained by network controls, accreditation, and data residency. Security testing (vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, encryption, RBAC) is scoped and does not replace assurance. Training is embedded and requires team participation; handover at close. Ongoing support follows the package; response times depend on tier.
