Start with the connected systems
Identify the users, devices, applications, and locations involved. Business and guest traffic, remote access, power, and service-provider equipment affect the design.

Define testing and documentation
Agree on relevant checks, labels, diagrams, and handoff notes. Formal surveys and certification reports are specific deliverables that need to be included in the proposal.
