It's necessarily an interactive process. They will want an NDA (you generally can't get the fab "library" or even process information without this!). They'll want to do sales work on you. There's enough bits where they will want to check your work and understanding because it reflects badly on _them_ if the result doesn't work in a way which could be deemed their fault. A lot of this stuff already exists for PCB manufacturers and has very gradually been automated into a SaaS, but chip shuttle is a much smaller market than PCBs and will remain that way.
