Scope

Four questions, then a page you can forward

Most advisory sites make you book a call to find out what the work would look like. This produces the memo first — which engagement, why that one, what happens in week one, what you own at the end, and the circumstances in which you should not buy it at all.

What does the agent actually do?

The action it is permitted to take, not the use case it was built for.

What is in place today?

Be pessimistic. The memo is more useful if this answer is.

What is forcing a decision?

A date changes the shape of the work more than anything else here.

Picking one adds the instruments from the register that reach you, with their dates and sources.

Answer the first three and the memo appears here.

What this is, and is not

It is assembly, not generation. Every duration, deliverable and obligation comes from a published table or from the regulatory register. Nothing is written at the moment you ask, and no model sits in the path — so the same four answers always produce the same memo, and the one you forward is the one anyone else would get.

A framework cannot be wrong the way an answer can. What is handed over here is the shape of the work and the reasoning behind it. The estimate that would need defending — the one with a number on it — is deliberately absent.

Denominated in time, never currency. No price appears anywhere on this site, by decision. An estimator that reintroduced one through arithmetic would be the same decision made badly — and a figure derived from four radio buttons is not one I could defend, which is exactly the failure this practice argues against.

It can tell you not to buy

One path returns no engagement at all, and every other path names the conditions under which you should not proceed. That section is not modesty — it is the part that makes the rest worth reading. A tool that recommends buying under every condition is an order form.

Nothing you enter is sent anywhere. The memo is assembled in your browser; there is no endpoint behind this page and you are welcome to check the network tab. If you would rather I saw it, print it and bring it to a conversation.
