Classify the engagement before the questionnaire classifies it

A compact diligence surface for a fixed-scope, no-production-access advisory engagement. Controlled identifiers and signed forms are supplied as a matching packet.

Contracting supplier

Vikram Jha
Individual independent consultant
Tax resident in India
Invoices issued from India

Vikram Jha Advisory is the practice name, not a separate company or legal entity. Residential address and tax identifiers are supplied only in controlled onboarding and invoice documents; they are not published on this website.

ControlPublished position
Engagement classificationFixed-scope professional advisory. No production operation, no ongoing managed service, no customer-data processing and no access to a critical system unless a signed scope explicitly says otherwise.
Security postureClient-tenant first; least-privilege named access; MFA; encrypted transport; synthetic examples; no shared credentials; no confidential client material in public AI services.
Data processingThe default scope is designed so no personal data is processed. If a buyer requires a fallback DPA despite that scope, the no-data recital and permitted processing are documented rather than argued orally.
SubprocessorsNone for advisory delivery by default. Hosting and analytics used by this public website are described separately on the privacy page and do not receive client work product.
Contract postureMutual NDA; client ownership of paid deliverables; bounded use of pre-existing methods; written change control; liability allocation proportionate to the fixed scope; no silent product recommendation.
Commercial mechanicsFixed scope, mobilisation invoice on signature, a second invoice against delivery, and jurisdiction-specific tax or withholding language reviewed before execution.
Professional indemnity / E&OCertificate and limit are not claimed publicly until a current COI is configured.
Cyber insuranceCertificate and limit are not claimed publicly until a current COI is configured.

Controlled packet

  • Matching individual-supplier and applicable tax documents
  • Remittance instructions and sanctions declaration
  • Current insurance certificates, when held
  • Security and no-data-processing attestations
  • Signed NDA and contract fallbacks

Public drafting baselines

These are reviewable starting points, not signed representations. Buyer-specific identifiers, evidence and counsel-approved language belong in the controlled packet.

Name the buyer, jurisdiction and supplier questionnaire. The matching documents should travel together so vendor-master, tax form and invoice cannot disagree.
