Let's see if there's good work to do together.

Most messages here begin a working relationship—a scoped engagement, a second opinion, a question that needs an outside reader. You can expect a thoughtful reply within a few business days.

A few sentences about what you’re working on and what would make this useful is enough to know whether we should talk further. Specifics help, but a rough sketch is a perfectly good place to begin.

What to includeii.

The decision the room is struggling with. One sentence, in plain language.
Who has to live with the decision once it’s made—by name or by role.
What you’ve already tried, and why it didn’t settle the question.
A working budget range, even if it’s a rough estimate.
Anything that would make this a hard no—exclusivity, scope, timing.

I won't be much help withiii.

Producing certifications of conformity or signed compliance letters.
Vendor sales calls. Please don’t pitch me on tooling or staff aug.
Press requests on deadlines under 48 hours.
Backchannel reference checks. I’d rather speak directly with the candidate.

A note on rhythm.

I keep quiet hours on weekends—no email, no calls. Notes that arrive then are answered the next week. If you’ve sent something and haven’t heard back in seven business days, please nudge me: the most common reason for silence is that a message slipped a filter, not that I’m dodging you.

For matters touching enforcement actions: please flag the jurisdiction in your subject line so I can route accordingly.
