Let's talk about your plan
The best first step is a short email describing what you're trying to figure out. No pitch decks required. A few honest sentences are plenty.
Let's talk
Tell me what you are trying to figure out, in your own words. I read every message myself and reply personally, usually within a day.
What to include
01
The decision or question
What you're facing, in your own words, however rough.
02
What data you have
Or suspect you have, whether spreadsheets, databases, or none at all.
03
Your timeline
Whether urgent, exploratory, or somewhere in between.
If the problem is a good fit, the next step is a short call to scope it properly. If it isn't, you'll hear that plainly, with a pointer in the right direction when I have one.
