Client expectations

What you will receive from Guidepost.

A Guidepost review is meant to give you a clear summary: what was reviewed, what was found, what should be fixed first, and how follow-up work will be handled.

Plain-English promise

You should never have to guess what was tested, what the report means, or what to do next.

Before work starts

  • A written review plan that names the pages, flows, screens, documents, platforms, and exclusions for the first pass.
  • A practical access checklist for test accounts, staging links, app builds, documents, and special instructions.
  • A proposal or invoice-ready service summary that explains the deliverables, timing, and starting price or approved fee.

During the review

  • Manual review of the agreed experience using keyboard access, screen readers, browser checks, and platform-specific assistive technology where relevant.
  • Findings logged with severity, affected page or flow, user impact, steps to reproduce, expected behavior, and recommended fixes.
  • Browser checks may support the review, but human testing decides the findings.

Your deliverables

  • A written report or findings memo with an executive summary, review scope, methodology notes, priority findings, and next steps.
  • Developer-ready finding details that can be copied into a ticketing system or used directly by the team fixing the product.
  • CSV export, portal access, retest guidance, and public verification language when included.

After delivery

  • A walkthrough note that explains what matters first and which fixes should be tackled in the next sprint.
  • A retest path for fixes the client marks ready, with the result saved with the original finding.
  • Optional remediation support, monitoring, or a public verification page when the review history supports it.

Deliverables by service

Different offers produce different depth, but the next steps stay practical.

The deliverable should match the decision you need to make: fix one flow, plan a broader audit, prepare a mobile release, or support public verification.

Review service details

What Guidepost needs from you

A little preparation makes the review faster and more useful.

The first review plan only needs enough detail to start testing cleanly.

The website, app build, document, or portal access needed for testing

Test accounts, coupon codes, sample data, or staging credentials if the flow requires them

The business-critical tasks customers need to complete successfully

Any launch date, procurement date, legal review, or customer commitment driving the timeline

Scope boundary

The deliverables describe the reviewed work.

Reports, retests, badges, and verification pages stay tied to the agreed scope, review dates, and client-approved language.
