The Conversation Framework
Eight areas we explore together to build a recommendation that fits — not a generic proposal.
1
End Objective
Let's start with the big picture — what are you building toward?
- What are you ultimately trying to build over the next 12-24 months?
- When this initiative is successful, what does the business look like that it does not look like today?
- What does 'self-sustaining' mean in practical terms inside your operation?
2
End Use Cases
Help us understand where this will live day to day.
- Where do you expect this to be used day to day?
- Who are the primary users or operators of what gets built?
- Which roles, teams, or locations would be most impacted first?
- What are the most important real-world use cases you need this to support?
3
Desired Outcome
What does winning look like for you?
- What specific outcomes are you hoping this investment will produce?
- What would need to improve operationally for you to consider this a win?
- Are you optimizing more for consistency, speed to competence, scalability, reduced key-person dependency, or something else?
- How would you measure success?
4
Why Now
Understanding urgency helps us prioritize the right things.
- Why is this a priority right now?
- What problem or risk is driving the investment?
- What happens if this does not get solved in the next 6-12 months?
- Is this being driven by growth, complexity, expansion, training gaps, management strain, or something else?
5
Work to Date
We want to build on what's already working, not start from scratch.
- What have you already built or put in place so far?
- What parts of this are already working well?
- What efforts have already been made internally around systems, training, process documentation, or rollout?
- Where have you made progress, and where have you gotten stuck?
- What do you already know you do not want to rebuild or replace?
6
People Involved
Understanding the team helps us design for adoption.
- Who owns this initiative internally?
- Who are the key stakeholders that would need to be involved?
- Which teams or leaders are already contributing to this effort?
- Who would be responsible for rollout, adoption, and long-term ownership after something is built?
7
Timeline
Let's align on pace and milestones.
- What timeline are you working against?
- Is there a target milestone, rollout window, or event driving the timing?
- Are you looking to diagnose first, design next, or move directly into implementation?
- What would an ideal pace for this look like from your side?
8
Scope Boundary
This is the most important question we will ask.
- Given the work already underway internally, where do you believe outside help could add the most value without duplicating effort?
