Thirty minutes, scheduled
Pick a slot. Bring the situation, the affected system, who owns the outcome, and the deadline. If it is not a fit, you will hear that in the call rather than a week later.

What to include
What makes a first reply useful
Without these, the first exchange is spent working out what the question is.
- 01
The decision to be made, or the change that has to happen
- 02
The affected system, and who owns the outcome internally
- 03
Known constraints, and what evidence already exists
- 04
The deadline, and where it comes from — audit, buyer, board, release
