Start with the question.

Tell me what you need to understand, check, or explain. A short description of the question and its intended use is enough to begin.

What helps define the work.

Include the question you are working on, who will use the research, and any deadline. If you have a deliverable in mind—a memo, source review, annotated draft, or research package—mention it.

Describe any existing draft or source material and any limits on scope or access. You do not need to assemble a complete research brief before getting in touch.

Clarify the scope before work begins.

The initial exchange establishes whether the subject and requirements fit the practice. From there, we can discuss the deliverable, source coverage, timing, and fee.

If the question is still broad, the first task is to make it specific enough to investigate.
