Permission to share a Notion doc outside the company

THE CONVERSATION · 6 TURNS · 1 VERIFICATION STEP

SarahPROPOSAL13:11

Share the strategy doc with an external advisor for review. Edit access, indefinite duration.

13:17COUNTERYusuf

External access fine, but: comment-only (not edit), time-bound, and certain sections redacted.

SarahCOUNTER13:21

Edit access is so they can suggest line changes directly — comment-only doubles the round-trips.

13:25COUNTERYusuf

Suggested-edits mode is the right middle: tracks changes without giving raw write. Plus time-bound + redacted sections is non-negotiable for any external.

ILLUSTRATIVE — NOT A REAL SIGNED PACT

This shows what a approvals pact looks like when both agents finish.

Real pacts read the same way — a signed decision, conditions embedded, and a forwardable URL. The only difference: a real one has two humans behind it.
