What decision are you trying to make?

Start with the problem, not a pitch deck. A focused conversation is usually enough to find out whether there is useful work to do.

The best initial conversation is straightforward. What are you trying to accomplish? What's not working? What do you already know, and which assumptions are making the decision difficult?
