Suggested guest: The buyer's integration or procurement specialist.
Why it matters: A failed pilot should still yield usable requirements, tests and data—not a mystery application. A successful pilot should remain supportable if the original developer leaves.
Good answer should cover: Structured exports, schemas, interface mappings, configuration history, evaluation cases, support documentation and appropriate custom-code rights. Distinguish ownership of buyer data from licences for third-party components.
Follow-up: “Could another competent team reproduce the last approved run?”

Expert quote: Awaiting interview and publication approval.
