Can we deliver this without connecting?

A client may want our content and may refuse an API, our software, and the web. This note asks whether that shape could work for us.

Two ways. They choose.

We can hand them a physical copy. Someone on their side copies it onto machines they own.

Or we can send it digitally, one way, onto a shelf they control. They review that delivery and confirm it is the one we described. Their data stays in the cabinet until they say the delivery may meet it.

The four pictures:

1. They will not connect.
2. They carry our copy in.
3. It stops on their shelf.
4. They say when it may meet their data.

What to ask engineering:

Physical copy. Our content moves on media we handed over. It waits on their shelf, not in their data cabinet. A named person on their side releases it. The checksum matches the delivery we named. After that, we see only what they later hand back the same way.

Digital drop. Our content moves in one sealed drop. It waits on the same shelf. A named person on their side releases it. The checksum matches the delivery we named. The path ends on their shelf. After that, we see only what they later hand back the same way.

A login is still a wire. The drive is named, and one person may insert it.

Yes, no, or not this.

This is a question. It is not a system we run, and it is not a certification.
