WHY THIS MATTERS
These steps are execution-level actions, not planning discussions.

lock in customs pricing, or integrate international financial frameworks
unless the currency reference is finalized or imminently deployable.
This is the system lining up before the rate is allowed to move.

Integration
Execution
