Which product boundaries should be set for franchise prospects, meetings, and renewals?

Treat franchise prospects, territories, and meetings as one operated product boundary. A credible first release makes renewals observable and defines how exceptions involving support relationships are recovered.

The first release should connect franchise prospects to renewals and expose a clear recovery path for exceptions involving support relationships.
