Purpose
When an API is about to leave the building — partner, mobile client, or another internal product — small naming and versioning choices become expensive. These sessions help your team settle the contract before the first external client freezes against it.
Session shape
We prepare from your draft OpenAPI (or protobuf / GraphQL schema), then facilitate a working session with the owning engineers. You leave with decision notes: what was agreed, what remains open, and which compatibility promises you are making.
Included
- Pre-read of draft contracts (up to a agreed page or file limit)
- Facilitation for up to six participants
- Written decision notes within three business days
- One round of async clarification on the notes
Not included
- Generating a complete public developer portal
- Implementing gateway configuration
- Marketing copy for API launch announcements
Good fit signals
You have a draft that already reflects real use cases, a known set of consumers, and disagreement about pagination, errors, or versioning. If you only have a wish list and no operators yet, we usually recommend a shorter scoping call first.
