## What makes a first conversation useful?

Bring one process rather than a strategy question. The ones that work best are frequent, expensive and disliked internally: intake, triage, chasing, checking or re-keying.

- Roughly how often it happens.
- Roughly what one occurrence costs in loaded staff time.
- What has already been tried, if anything.
- Who would have to accept the risk of putting a system live.

That is enough to tell within half an hour whether there is anything worth doing.

## What happens next?

1. **A short conversation** – No preparation needed beyond one process in mind.
2. **A written note on whether it is worth pursuing** – Including the case for doing nothing, where that applies.
3. **If it is, a fixed-scope diagnostic** – Defined deliverable, defined end date, no obligation to continue.
