The partner's development team was invited to ___ our sandbox environment to begin testing the integration.
Access the sandbox environment is the standard technical partnership collocation. 'Use' is too generic; 'enter' implies a physical space; 'join' is for teams or groups. 'Access' is the correct term for gaining entry to a technical environment.

We need to ___ an SLA with the new API partner before we can push to production.
Sign an SLA is the most common collocation in formal partnership language. 'Finalize' is a step before signing; 'agree' is conversational; 'establish' is more abstract. 'Sign' reflects the formal contractual action of committing to service level terms.

The integration guide explained how to ___ API credentials during the onboarding process.
Generate API credentials is the technical collocation for creating tokens, keys, or secrets. 'Create' is slightly less precise; 'obtain' implies receiving from someone; 'get' is informal. 'Generate' correctly describes the programmatic creation of authentication credentials.

When the integration broke in production, the partner was instructed to ___ a support escalation immediately.
Raise a support escalation is the professional collocation used in technical partnerships and B2B support workflows. 'Open a ticket' is more common for end-users; 'file' is for formal complaints; 'create' is too generic. 'Raise an escalation' is the idiomatic form in enterprise support language.

The partner success manager helped the new client ___ their first API call within the first week.
Execute their first API call is the most precise technical collocation. 'Make a call' is natural in conversational context; 'send a call' mixes metaphors; 'complete' suggests finishing. 'Execute' is the standard technical verb for running a request or command against an API.
