Use the first connection to prove trust, not breadth

The first connection should answer the basic questions early: what access is required, what context becomes visible, and what proof survives after action.

Starting small reduces integration risk and gives security and platform teams a real review surface.

  • Confirm the access model before enabling broad coverage
  • Validate that spend signals map to a real owner queue
  • Check that approval and export records are retained correctly

What good first-connection evidence looks like

Buyers should be able to see one issue move from raw signal into an owner-routed decision path with context preserved.

That evidence matters more than a large connector count during the first review.

  • Named owner attached
  • Checks or policy context attached
  • Outcome and savings proof recorded
