The proof becomes reviewable when a prospect can rerun the same workflow from a known starting state and distinguish representative fixtures from production data and claims.
Design representative data around the criteria
Create the smallest input set that exercises the approved workflow: one ordinary record, one optional-field variation when required, one rejected record, and one retry or fallback case. Use synthetic or sanitized values approved by the buyer and prospect. Preserve shape, length, enumeration, and relationship characteristics needed for the test without importing unnecessary personal, confidential, or production information.
Label every fixture and generated target record as proof data where the systems allow it. Assign a run identifier and carry it through requests, logs, responses, and target objects. Keep credentials outside the fixture set and use proof-specific identities and least-privileged access supplied or approved by the buyer. The service records credential names and owners, never the secret values in the public or handoff documents.
Make reset a tested operation
Define the starting state for both systems and list every object the workflow can create or mutate. The reset procedure should delete or restore only the proof records, clear queues or caches when necessary, and verify that the next run begins without residue. Test reset after success, rejection, partial failure, and interrupted execution. If an external action cannot be reversed, replace it with a sandbox action or recorded stub approved for the proof.
Workato's current pricing documentation describes usage across actions, API calls, rows, and other capabilities. A repeated proof can therefore consume platform capacity even when no production value is created. Record the number of runs and relevant usage under the buyer's account without making a forecast beyond the observed proof. Platform subscriptions and enterprise licensing remain separate from the service fee.
Close with retention and deletion receipts
List where proof inputs, logs, screenshots, recordings, generated target records, source code, and acceptance reports reside; who can access them; and the agreed deletion or transfer event. Execute the reset before handoff and record the remaining artifacts the buyer asked to keep. Do not claim deletion from provider backups or systems the service cannot control; name those limits and their accountable owner.
Integration Proof Record uses secure intake and an isolated working environment operated by Reality Contact, LLC. The buyer and prospect approve the data, identities, actions, and retention terms. The environment demonstrates one workflow under proof conditions. It does not establish production data handling, privacy compliance, security, residency, retention suitability, or disaster recovery.
Where the service stops
Reality Contact, LLC builds a one-workflow evaluation artifact but does not certify security, privacy, compliance, reliability, scalability, production readiness, procurement fit, or business outcomes; approve enterprise architecture; operate production; or represent the prospect's acceptance decision. The buyer and prospect approve the workflow, claims, sanitized data, constraints, target-system actions, and acceptance criteria; control credentials and access; attend the evidence review; and decide whether to commission a separately scoped production implementation. The service is software implementation and document preparation for one evaluation workflow, and it does not replace security, privacy, compliance, architecture, procurement, reliability, or production review. The buyer and prospect approve the workflow, data, claims, access, and acceptance criteria and retain every production, procurement, architecture, and commissioning decision.
