Contact / Start with the problem

Bring the messy version.

You do not need a finished specification. Send the process as it exists today, the systems involved and one example of where the work becomes slow, unreliable or difficult to control.

Useful context to include

  • What the team is currently doing by hand
  • Which systems are involved
  • An example of an exception or failure
  • Who owns the process
  • What has already been attempted
  • Any deadline, security or procurement constraint

What happens next

  1. I read the context and identify the first unanswered questions.
  2. I reply within two business days.
  3. The first exchange can remain asynchronous.
  4. When a call resolves uncertainty faster, we arrange one.
  5. I suggest a consultation, paid investigation, defined implementation or simpler alternative.
  6. If the work is not a responsible fit for one engineer, I will say so.
