Probably. So, if there was no actual technical work involved, we'll just
start from your definitions.

Hmm, OK. I'm good then, what about the rest of the team? Anyone else
interested?
I see in those files that all that is required is the file to live on

OK I see you already did that. So, all that's left now is to actually do
some work!
