Refresh your buyer assessment

Updated 4 October 2026

The short answer

Refresh the facts that changed, keep your exclusions and choose one next action.

Refresh your assessment

This is the last of your ten weekly guides. You now have the pieces for a buyer conversation: inventory, exact inputs, a quality card, a defined scope and questions about payment.

Bring them together in this one-page brief:

  • Proposed collection and covered period: ___
  • Count and unit, with gaps noted: ___
  • How records connect and what outcomes are retained: ___
  • Current company facts, checked on: ___
  • Rights confirmed for this scope: ___
  • Explicit exclusions and unresolved questions: ___
  • Preferred licence model and exclusivity: ___
  • Preparation work and available person: ___
  • Payment or timing priority: ___
  • The next question I want a buyer to answer: ___

Before reusing an old shortlist, check what changed. Current staff, retained history, prior licences and readiness may differ from the first assessment. Ask each relevant buyer to confirm present demand and the scoped terms; an earlier enquiry is not a current offer.

Refresh only the facts you can support. Keep any price estimate attached to its actual inputs and source. Keep restricted collections outside the introduction scope until the open questions are resolved.

Choose one next action: complete an unknown, seek a scoped quote or wait until the collection is ready. Keep the brief inside your company and share only an approved summary.

Sources and limitations

Programme descriptions can change. The signed agreement controls the price, licensed scope and payment conditions. These worksheets help prepare questions and do not certify rights or promise a deal.
