Week by week

  • Week 1: list every system, years held, approximate volumes.
  • Week 2: confirm ownership, agree exclusions, start the DPIA and LIA.
  • Week 3: de-identify a sample and run a motivated intruder test.
  • Week 4: send an anonymised profile to several buyers.

  • Inventory before export.
  • Legal assessments run alongside, not after.
  • Test on a sample first.
