Timing
Timing: the pair is conditional, not calendared. It resolves when a specific conversation happens, not on a particular date.
Yes or no
Unclear by design. This pair answers a different question than the one you asked — ask it about the person or the cost instead.

Professionally the pair favours the unglamorous route: finish, document, hand over. Visibility follows completion here, never the other way round.
