The co-advisory scope checklist

Agree responsibilities before introductions or document access.

1. Authority — Identify the client, the party holding the mandate, the authorised decision maker and any exclusivity restrictions. Confirm whether cooperation is permitted before approaching another party.
2. Contribution — Define the specific work: readiness review, target screening, buyer research or analytical materials. State what is excluded and who remains responsible for the client relationship.
3. Deliverables and acceptance — List the outputs, required inputs, named reviewer, delivery trigger and permitted revision rounds. Define acceptance by the agreed work, not by an assumed transaction outcome.
4. Disclosure — Agree which facts may be shared anonymously, who may receive named information and who approves release. Establish confidentiality arrangements before access to client material.
5. Data handling — Specify approved tools and subprocessors, access permissions, allowed AI use, storage, retention and deletion. Do not assume that API use automatically means zero retention or regulatory compliance.
6. Commercial terms — Identify the paying party, fee basis, currency, taxes, payment triggers and any credit against another fee. Record conflicts and required disclosures; do not assume an introduction creates a commission entitlement.
7. Execution boundaries — Allocate legal, tax, accounting, technical and any regulated activities to the appropriate parties. Agree escalation, termination, handover and the single next action with an owner and date.

Free worksheet; no registration required. This checklist helps prepare a cooperation discussion. It is not a contract, regulatory authorisation or determination that a proposed fee arrangement is permitted.
