# Client Lifecycle

## Proof-of-Concept Fix Approval Gate

During the proof-of-concept stage, agents may detect issues, gather evidence, and draft proposed fixes.

Any fix that publishes to a client-facing surface requires human approval before it goes live.

This includes, but is not limited to:

- Google Business Profile edits
- Review responses
- Q&A answers
- Business descriptions
- Service descriptions
- Hours
- Phone numbers
- Booking links
- Website changes
- Directory or citation updates

The lifecycle must preserve the reconnaissance-versus-execution rule:

Agents may detect and draft.
Humans approve before publish.
