01 · Fit
Can public evidence materially improve the decision?
If not, Arid should say so before proposing work.
Discuss a live pursuit
Tell us about the decision—not the confidential record.
A non-confidential description of the account, opportunity, program, or region is enough to begin. Arid will respond with the next question needed to determine fit.
Step 1Describe the decision
Step 2Confirm evidence fit
Step 3Bound the scope
Book a conversation
Start with a 30-minute pursuit conversation
Bring a non-confidential description of the account, opportunity, program, or region. Arid responds with the next question needed to determine fit—before requesting deeper context.
Do not send confidential, privileged, regulated, or export-controlled information; contacting Arid does not create a client relationship. See the proposed Privacy Notice.
What to expect
The first response should improve the scope.
The initial exchange is designed to determine whether Arid can help before requesting deeper context.
02 · Boundaries
What information and opinions stay outside scope?
Confidentiality, professional boundaries, evidence sources, and exclusions are clarified early.
03 · Shape
What is the smallest useful engagement?
A stand-alone brief, overflow task, or recurring watch is chosen only if the economics fit.
