Scope the required connection
Identify the account and subscription source needed for the study. Review the fields and sensitivity of the material entering the analysis.
Scientist · Governance & integrations
Make access part of the research plan.
Connect research tools and consider how analysis should be shared and reused. Scientist keeps source requirements and collaboration boundaries in the discussion, alongside the analytical method.
Governance & integrations
Prepare a customer research workflow for collaboration
Connect the approved customer research source and review access before sharing the renewal analysis with collaborators.
Research connection
Approved account and subscription source
Access review
Research collaborators · Dataset access boundaries
Reuse decision
Workflow sharing scope · Source access requirements
Review the access context alongside the connected research workflow.
Follow the investigation
A concrete path through the research.
Sharing a renewal workflow is not the same as granting access to customer records. The team needs to know which source is approved, who should work with it and what a collaborator will need to reuse the analysis.
Review access before collaboration
Consider the intended researchers and their source-access requirements. Confirm the supported workspace and connection controls before sharing.
Define the reuse boundary
Explain the source requirements and intended sharing scope. Revisit them when the analysis moves to a different team or research population.
What to examine
Put the analytical choices in view.
The useful output is not just a completed run. It is an analysis whose inputs, assumptions and limits another researcher can question.
Connection purpose
The specific research need served by each source or external tool.
Access responsibility
Who approves source use and who should collaborate on the workflow?
Reuse context
What a new researcher must validate before adapting the analysis.
Scientist in the DO Stack
Take the research to the right next owner.
SAFE can help frame security assessment questions around the research environment and connected material. A security review is separate from proving that a particular Scientist control exists; validate implementation evidence with the responsible teams.
What should we validate for implementation?
Validate each integration, identity mechanism, permission model, credential handling, logging and retention requirement. Certifications, data-residency promises, a native connector catalog and enterprise-wide policy enforcement are not claimed here.
What should the team bring to a first discussion?
Bring one research question, its source requirements, a relevant workflow and the review criteria. Confirm available capabilities, access and operating requirements before using sensitive material or applying a finding operationally.
Start with a question worth investigating.
Bring the question, the available data and the people who understand it. We’ll work through the analytical path, the review points and the implementation requirements.
