Define the operational question

Validate Referral Partner Lead Handoffs checkpoint 1 applies define the operational question to partner operations. The bounded objective is to verify partner identity, agreement reference, lead source, disclosure or notice evidence, scope, ownership, duplicate state, and acceptance. Start with the exact person or account key, source identity, collection or observation time, policy version, system revision, preparation owner, decision owner, expected state, exception, and durable evidence link.

That separation prevents a convenient CRM field from implying identity, permission, fit, intent, consent, qualification, ownership, or commitment that the evidence does not establish.

For Validate Referral Partner Lead Handoffs, test checkpoint 1 with one ordinary synthetic or specifically authorized record, one missing-evidence case, one conflicting-source case, and one late-arriving preference or ownership update.
