Summary

Adds a hidden Technical evaluation page under Docs > Getting started, describing how a prospect works with the Fern team during a 1-3 week tech eval: demo site, hands-on access for the whole team, the prioritized requirements sheet and review call, per-team stakeholder sessions (engineering, marketing, support, tech writing), and the legal/security/procurement approvals.

Content comes from the sales process description in Slack rather than from Mintlify's POC onboarding page — the framing is "how to work with the Fern team", not a self-serve checklist. The stakeholder-session table links each topic to the relevant existing docs (spec syncing, API Explorer, SDK snippets, API key injection, SEO/GEO, Ask Fern, Fern Agent, user feedback, analytics), and the hands-on section links out to Fern Editor and the Docs quickstart.

Hidden like Self-service setup, so it's shareable by URL but absent from the sidebar. No changelog entry: this is a process page, not a Docs product feature.

Fern and your team build a shared requirements document, with each requirement prioritized as a must-have, should-have, or could-have.

Alongside the requirements, agree on two or three success criteria tied to an outcome you care about, like reader activation, support ticket deflection, or engineering time saved on docs maintenance. That gives the evaluation a clear bar to clear rather than just a feature list.
