An initial conversation
Start with the decision you need to make.
A short account of the issue, the decision deadline, and the evidence available is enough to begin defining a useful scope.
A useful starting note
- What decision or unresolved question needs attention?
- Who is involved, and who can authorize the work?
- What is known, what is assumed, and what remains unclear?
- What timing, obligations, or practical constraints matter?
- What would make an initial analysis useful?

Send a short note describing the decision, the available evidence, and the next step you want to discuss.
[email protected]An initial note can describe the situation without sending confidential records. The scope and a suitable way to share supporting material can be agreed in the conversation.
What follows
The first task is to identify a bounded question that the available evidence can help resolve. From there, agree the material to review, the output, its limits, and the terms for the work.
