Short answer: Client deliverables, data extracts and interview notes usually belong to or are confidential to the client. Your frameworks, training and engagement workflows may be yours to license, but if they are trade secrets, licensing them needs care, since protection depends on reasonable secrecy measures.
Client material
Engagement letters and NDAs typically restrict disclosure of client information and may assign deliverables to the client. Map them before scoping.
Your know-how
Trade secret status requires that the owner 'has taken reasonable measures to keep such information secret' (18 U.S.C. § 1839). A license with confidentiality terms is different from publication, but get counsel's view before licensing core methods.
What to scope first
- Internal operations: staffing, proposals, knowledge management.
- Training materials.
- Engagement workflows with client data removed.
