Scope and confidentiality
What this site is, and what it deliberately leaves out.
This site is the strategy and roadmap for the Canva initiative. Reporting access, attribution and analytics are already in place under the existing engagement and are not restated here. Validation items above are resolved in the first two weeks of September and reported in the first monthly report.
Confidentiality. This site contains no commercial terms, no rates, no personal names and no non-public strategic information. It is written so that it can be forwarded within Constant Contact without redaction.
