## Claims

- **yes · documented**: Offers view, comment, edit and full-access levels. [Notion sharing and permissions](https://www.notion.com/help/sharing-and-permissions) Scope: Page roles; broader inherited access must be checked.
- **yes · documented**: Can invite selected people to a specific page. [Notion sharing and permissions](https://www.notion.com/help/sharing-and-permissions) Scope: Inherited or broader access may still grant entry.
- **yes · documented**: Can invite guests to selected pages. [Notion sharing and permissions](https://www.notion.com/help/sharing-and-permissions) Scope: Guests need Notion accounts; guest limits and administrator restrictions apply.
- **yes · documented**: Can expose a page through a public link. [Notion sharing and permissions](https://www.notion.com/help/sharing-and-permissions) Scope: Publishing and public links may be disabled by enterprise policy.
- **yes · documented**: Database pages have properties and configurable views. [Notion databases](https://www.notion.com/help/intro-to-databases) Scope: Not a claim about a general-purpose database engine.

## Open questions

- Which client versions, plan and administrator policies apply to the team?
- What survives a representative export: links, attachments, comments, permissions and history?
- How do simultaneous edits, temporary disconnection and member departure behave on the chosen setup?

## Verification plan

1. Use the small-team-knowledge investigation to specify the required collaboration and access boundaries.
2. With explicit authorization, create an isolated synthetic workspace and named test accounts; do not invite real colleagues or upload private knowledge.
3. Test editing, viewer restrictions, recovery and export with pinned clients and plan; retain sanitized artifacts before drawing conclusions.
