Workshop objectives

Four objectives. In order.

Each one unlocks the next. We don't move on until the previous is done, that's why the room exists.

01
Phase 1 · Scope & decisions Owner: Implementation Lead

Identify every requirement and decision needed to launch the first product.

Together we'll map every requirement and open decision standing between us and a launchable product, commercial, regulatory, technical, operational. Nothing left in someone's head.

Deliverable A ranked decision log: every open question with an owner, a deadline, and the answer where we have one.
02
Phase 2 · Architecture Owners: Tech Dev (Gangkhar) + AXA Tech

Draw the end-to-end technical diagram: Distributor ↔ Gangkhar ↔ AXA.

A single sequence diagram covering quote, issuance, claim, cancellation, and renewal. Every API call, every callback, every identifier and error path, agreed on the wall.

Deliverable A signed-off architecture diagram, exported in source form, stored in the project repo.
03
Phase 3 · API deep-dive Owners: Tech Dev (both sides)

Walk through both API surfaces, Gangkhar and AXA, until each side knows the other's.

Endpoint by endpoint. We confirm authentication, request/response shapes, idempotency, error semantics, rate limits, and the exact sequence of calls that maps to the diagram from objective 2.

Deliverable Both API specs annotated with which endpoints are in scope for the PoC, with sample payloads exchanged.
04
Phase 4 · PoC build Owners: Product / Insurance + Tech

Implement a working PoC: fill the Product Configuration Template, configure the product on Sherpa.

The Product Configuration Template, 23 sections, ~210 fields, is the single source of truth for an insurance product on Sherpa. We fill it together. By end of day, the product is live in our environment and ready to quote.

Deliverable Filled template + product configured in Sherpa staging, demonstrated with a live quote before we close.

The point isn't the diagrams. It's the decisions.

One room, the right people, the right artefacts on the table. We trade weeks of async back-and-forth for a focused working session that ends with something running.
