Field brief / Colombia

Turn country context into a decision record.

This is not a market-entry promise or a substitute for local advice. It is a set of questions that reveals which Colombia-specific facts must change the scope, interface, test plan, or handoff.

Seven rows worth settling.

The point is not to collect trivia. Every row should end in a requirement, an explicit exception, or an assigned verification task.

AreaQuestion to answerEvidence before release
AudienceWho in Colombia uses, approves, supports, or pays for the system?Named roles and one tested priority journey.
LanguageWhich surfaces require Colombian Spanish, and who approves wording?Language owner, terminology list, and native review where required.
GeographyDo address, department, municipality, coverage, or travel assumptions affect the workflow?Representative inputs and service-area rules tested.
DataWhat is collected, why, where it travels, who can access it, and when is it deleted?Data map, notices, vendor list, retention, response, and incident owners.
CommerceWho sells, invoices, collects, settles, refunds, and reconciles?Approved provider route, invoice model, failure states, and reconciliation test.
AccessWhat devices, connection conditions, permissions, and support routes matter?Mobile, accessibility, recovery, performance, and support checks.
AcceptanceWho says it is done, and what will they inspect?Live acceptance record, known limitations, access handoff, and rollback path.
Commercial reference

When Colombian pesos are displayed, confirm whether COP is informational, contractual, charged, or settled. The client and its advisers own the final commercial and tax model; the software implements the approved behavior.

The brief becomes five project artifacts.

  • A one-page operating picture naming users, owners, systems, and constraints.
  • A requirements list tied to evidence rather than assumptions.
  • A decision log separating confirmed facts, pending review, and explicit exclusions.
  • A test plan covering the real Colombia journey and meaningful failure paths.
  • A handoff plan naming access, documentation, monitoring, support, and recheck dates.

Bring one real workflow and its open questions.

Faith Forge Labs can turn that context into a scoped technical route without pretending every country question has already been answered.
