Bring one workflow—or one testable thesis
The most useful conversation starts with a recent example: what triggered the work, which source material mattered, who had authority, where context changed hands, and how everyone knew the job was actually closed.
For a strategic conversation, start with the precise opportunity you see, the evidence that would strengthen or disprove it, the perspective or capability you bring, and any interest that should be explicit from the outset.
- Boundary
- One repeated workflow with a clear beginning, decision owner, and end state.
- Evidence
- The documents, messages, approvals, corrections, and completion artifacts already used today. Do not send private records through the public form.
- Failure
- Where delay, duplication, ambiguity, or missing context changes the outcome or consumes attention.
- Authority
- Which decisions can be prepared by software, which require a person, and what must trigger escalation.
