| Step / exception | Required behaviour | Scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| Publish and find | Approved version live; B finds it by search and a rule recommendation with evidence and gaps | T05, T06, T07 |
| Respond without publishing | B asks a question and submits meaningful interest without owning an opportunity | T09, T17 |
| Independent respondents | C has its own thread with A; B cannot see C’s messages, interest or actions; declining C leaves the opportunity open | T10, T19 |
| Pause / removal / retry | Pause blocks new interest; existing discussions continue; revoked members lose future access; repeats create no duplicates | T23, T25, T18 |
| Next action | An authorised user assigns an action, optional due date and completion state; daily view shows pending/overdue without exposing other teams | T29, T30, T31 |
Acceptance of a discussion is not acceptance of commercial terms and not a partnership contract.
