Delivery partnerships

A delivery partnership needs a clear division of responsibilities. An organization may need a team to complete a defined human-services scope or additional talent within a workflow it already manages. ADCO considers partnership inquiries around data, evaluation, verification and human oversight for companies building or using AI.

Describe the intended result, the role of each party and how the work connects to the wider engagement. Qualification, availability, commercial terms and delivery commitments must be established for the actual requirements.

Before information or access is shared, establish who can authorize the work and which client restrictions apply. The scope should identify approved systems, processing locations, personnel requirements, confidentiality, information handling and any required permission for subcontracting. Participation in a commercial discussion does not itself authorize client-data access.

The same clarity is needed for review and acceptance. Decide who supplies instructions, who assesses output, who resolves ambiguity and which party approves external delivery. Changes to the scope should preserve those responsibilities and the applicable client commitments.

A useful handoff includes the agreed deliverables, relevant review findings and any unresolved limitations. Reporting and escalation should connect the teams without creating unnecessary copies of protected information. The arrangement needs a practical way to address changing requirements, delivery concerns and questions that cross the boundary between organizations.

Use the partnership inquiry option to introduce your organization and the proposed scope. Keep the initial description at a business level. Confidential project material and customer records should follow only through an authorized exchange with the necessary agreements and permissions in place.
