Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about getting started, how engagements are organised, confidentiality, technical delivery and how the collective works.
Getting started
A first conversation is usually enough to clarify the situation, the need and the expertise involved. If the requirement is still broad, we recommend a short assessment before proposing a larger programme.
If the requirement is a fit for Lelink, we send a proposal setting out the scope, the work, the deliverables, the team, the timeline, responsibilities and fees. If further framing is needed, it is identified as such.
A benchmark or an assessment usually takes three to six weeks. A pilot most often runs for six to ten weeks. A deployment, a custom development, an adoption programme or a public affairs engagement can extend over several months. The timeline depends on scope, available data, the number of users and technical dependencies.
How engagements are organised
A named engagement lead is appointed from the outset. Additional team members contribute according to the work required. Roles, time commitments and accountability are set out in the proposal and confirmed at kickoff.
Yes. Engagements are modular. Lelink can run a benchmark, structure a pilot, build a tool, train a team or prepare an acceptable-use policy without imposing a full programme. We do flag dependencies that could limit the outcome if left unaddressed.
Yes. When the market has no fitting answer, Lelink designs and builds automations, AI assistants and agents, business tools and prototypes, then integrates them into your environment. Functional design, architecture, testing, evaluation and governance are part of the engagement.
Yes. Recommendations are based on the client's requirements and constraints. Any commercial relationship, partnership or fee that could influence a recommendation would be disclosed before the engagement.
Confidentiality and compliance
Before accessing data or documents, we agree what is necessary, which tools are approved, who may access the information, how long it is retained and which confidentiality commitments apply. Tests may use anonymised, pseudonymised or synthetic data where appropriate.
We help identify obligations, document choices and organise controls. Compliance ultimately depends on the organisation's role, the uses, the data, the vendors and how deployment actually happens. Legal opinions reserved to a regulated profession are delivered by qualified professionals in the appropriate setting.
Yes. Regulatory and institutional monitoring is part of the offer. We follow the applicable texts, guidelines and regulators' positions, and translate them into operational decisions for the projects concerned.
Where we work and how the collective operates
The team works throughout France, in person and remotely. European and international engagements are possible where the subject, working language and professional obligations allow.
Lelink is a coordinated offer built on a structured partnership. The contracting entity and the contributors are specified for each engagement, according to scope, the expertise involved and the applicable professional obligations.
