Public commercial review summary
Reviewed July 23, 2026
Make the commercial decision with fewer unknowns.

- Optional diagnostic
- 10 business days, $15K-$25K
- Design partnership
- 90 days, $100K-$150K

Commercial boundary
This summary is not a contract.
The public fee range, scope description, and production credit are planning information. They do not create an offer, clickwrap agreement, service commitment, outcome guarantee, or obligation for either party.
The final proposal must identify the contracting entity and state the customer-specific scope, price, acceptance, data, security, intellectual-property, risk, support, and exit terms. A signed agreement is the only controlling commitment.
Decision ownership
Public clarity starts the review. The signed agreement finishes it.
| Activity | Doku baseline | Customer and signed control |
|---|---|---|
| Entry point | Starts with a fit review and offers an optional diagnostic before the 90-day program. | Chooses whether to stop, buy the diagnostic, or review a design-partner proposal. |
| Diagnostic scope | Proposes one gate, one change class, five acceptance deliverables, and a 10-business-day decision path. | Approves inputs, participation, evidence, acceptance, fee, credit, and the stop or proceed decision. |
| Program scope | Proposes one bounded workflow and a 90-day delivery path. | Approves inclusions, exclusions, participants, evidence, and acceptance. |
| Fees | Publishes typical diagnostic and design-partner fee ranges and conversion credits. | Accepts the final price, payment, expenses, taxes, and credit terms. |
| Data and security | Requests no restricted evidence before an approved boundary. | Approves data, access, architecture, retention, and required controls. |
| Production conversion | Provides a decision point after the bounded program. | Chooses whether to stop, extend, or accept a separate production agreement. |
Internal approval map
Give every required buyer one explicit decision.
- 01Executive sponsor

- 02Operational champion
Validates the current workflow, coordinates the minimum evidence, and owns the working cadence.
- 03Technical authority
Confirms source authority and technical consequence while retaining every professional approval.
- 04Security and data owner
Approves the transfer path, access model, processing boundary, retention, export, and deletion requirements.
- 05Legal and procurement
Reviews the entity, confidentiality, scope, price, payment, intellectual property, liability, insurance, and exit terms.
- 06Authorized signatory
Executes only the customer-specific proposal and agreement that control the selected engagement.
Mutual action path
Convert interest into dated, owner-specific decisions.
| Decision | Required owners | Completion evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Fit decision | Executive sponsor and Doku | Stop, diagnostic, or design-partner proposal |
| Evidence boundary | Technical, security, data, and legal owners | Approved minimum evidence schedule and transfer path |
| Commercial boundary | Buyer, procurement, legal, and Doku | Agreed scope, acceptance, fee, payment, risk, and exit terms |
| Outcome decision | Executive sponsor and accountable project team | Stop, wait, proceed, or request a larger deployment proposal |
| Signature | Authorized customer and Doku signatories | Executed customer-specific agreement and approved kickoff |
