…not just install For self-hosted installs, "FlowFuse installed" is not the same as a ready environment. If the environment can't reach the hosts FlowFuse needs to install and update nodes/packages, the PoV stalls the first time someone adds a node — a recent PoV lost a week to exactly this. Strengthen gate #5 in both the Solution "What the SE produces" list and the Pre-PoV checklist: the outbound access must be filed *and proven* during Solution, and links to the Networking requirements docs page for the host list to hand the customer's network team. Depends on FlowFuse/flowfuse#8354, which adds /docs/install/networking-requirements — keep this PR in draft until that merges (the link 404s until then).

What
For self-hosted installs, "FlowFuse installed" is not the same as a ready environment. If the environment can't reach the hosts FlowFuse needs to install/update nodes and packages, the PoV stalls the first time someone adds a node — a recent PoV lost a week to exactly this.
Strengthens gate #5 in both places it lives:
sales/meetings/solution.md→ "What the SE produces in Solution" (Remove placeholder blog posts #5, A ready environment)sales/meetings/pov.md→ "Pre-PoV checklist" (Remove placeholder blog posts #5, FlowFuse is available to test)The outbound access must be filed and proven during Solution (not discovered mid-PoV), and both spots now link to the Networking requirements docs page for the host list to hand the customer's network team.
Links to
/docs/install/networking-requirements/, which is added by FlowFuse/flowfuse#8354. Keep this in draft until that merges — the link 404s until then.
