Start with the need you can describe—not a finished specification.
Use this intake to describe an operational problem, a website or web-system requirement, or a situation that is still becoming clear.
You do not need a complete specification. We need enough context to understand what is known, what is uncertain and what the next useful decision should be.
A useful brief explains the need without requiring every answer.
You may be bringing a recurring operational failure, a clear website requirement, a more complex web system, or a situation that is still uncertain. Focus on what is happening now and what the work needs to achieve.
- You do not need a complete specification.
- Give enough context to understand the need.
- Clear and uncertain starting points are both acceptable.
- Do not submit passwords, credentials or regulated personal data.
Do not include passwords, private access credentials, regulated personal data or information you are not authorised to share.
Intake
A brief begins a review—not a commitment to build.
When delivery is connected, we first determine what is already clear, what still needs investigation and what next step is justified.
- We may request additional context about the need, access or decision authority.
- A conversation may be useful when the need appears credible but requires deeper understanding.
- The request may not fit our current operating approach, capability or stage.
- A defined investigation or build path may be considered when the need, access and decision path are sufficiently credible.
Share enough to explain the need—not protected information.
The first brief should describe the work, website or system without including private credentials, regulated personal data, confidential client records or information you are not authorised to disclose.
- Do not submit passwords or access keys.
- Do not submit banking or payment credentials.
- Do not submit confidential customer records.
- Do not submit medical, biometric or government-identification data.
- Do not submit private legal documents or privileged advice.
- Do not upload files during this phase.
Access can be discussed later when the investigation, authority and information boundaries are clearer.
Bringing capability rather than a project need?
Use the collaboration route when you can contribute research, technical capability, domain knowledge, operational access or a credible path to implementation—not when you need us to investigate or build something.
