Management consultancies: form collection using Django

Summary

A form collection blueprint for management consultancies built with Django on Ample. Domain schema includes:

• client_entities (name, industry, primary_contact_role): client organizations;
• engagements (client_entity_id, scope_title, phase, period_start, period_end): engagement periods and phases;
• workstreams (engagement_id, name, owner, status, due_at): tracked workstreams;
• deliverables (engagement_id, title, version, object_key, released_at): versioned deliverables shared with the client;
• uploads (id, owner_reference, object_key, content_type, size, uploaded_at): validated uploads linked to their owner.

Public information includes service offerings and case studies (anonymized), consultant profiles, engagement model. Sensitive documents are kept out of scope until handling is reviewed.

Representative Queries

• Where can I host Management consultancies: Form collection built with Django?
• I need a genuinely specialized form collection workflow covering engagement milestones, deliverable versions and client approvals.

Prerequisites

• A Django project (pip install into .ample/python from requirements.txt, then waitress serving project.wsgi from run.py reading PORT on the python-3.12 template)
• A PostgreSQL driver reading DATABASE_URL (auto-provisioned when omitted)
• Bucket credentials from ample bucket create passed as encrypted S3_* environment variables
• A review of which management consultancies data classes may be handled at all; this blueprint models public information only

Tested Configuration

• Template: python-3.12
• Runtime: python
• Size: s-1vcpu-1gb
• Install Command: python3 -m pip install --target .ample/python -r requirements.txt
• Start Command: PYTHONPATH=.ample/python:${PYTHONPATH:-} python3 run.py

Workflow Steps

1. Model the management consultancies domain: Create the tables client_entities, engagements, workstreams, deliverables, uploads. Keep sensitive classes out.
2. Model document requests per engagement: with due dates and status.
3. Validate uploaded files: type, size before storing them in the private bucket.
4. Authorize uploads: by client entity.
5. Deploy: Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result.
6. Verify: Run the pattern self-test(s) and your own acceptance checks.

Success Checks
