Technical implementation of Article 50 transparency controls for agentic payment platforms. Rail-neutral. Audit-ready. PSD3/PSR-aligned based on provisional political agreement text.
Sprint Structure
What this sprint delivers
A structured five-day technical engagement. Each day has defined inputs, outputs, and acceptance criteria. Kickoff requires a signed MSA, executed SOW, and 50% deposit.
