The system
What models, data, RAG, agents, MCP servers, tools, vendors, and infrastructure are involved?
A few clear facts are enough to begin.
The stage
Is this an idea, prototype, pre-launch review, production system, active incident, or redesign?
The concern
What needs assessment, repair, construction, validation, containment, or an independent decision?
The boundaries
What data sensitivity, regulatory obligations, deployment constraints, and authorized test limits apply?
The outcome
What decision or operational result must this engagement make possible?
The timing
Is there a launch date, incident window, audit, board decision, or other deadline?
