no, they are not. For example: Think about a client (project sponsor) of who hires a firm like space-X who wants to see internal specification of rocket motor. It is trade secret; company will not share it with client. Many other scenarios like this in real life where there are trade secrets, IP, patents so it is not as straight forward as you would think. Answer is correct that PM meets with sponsor to discuss further.
