Check whether this option fits my situation. Ask about missing information, a few questions at a time. Verify current official availability, eligibility, costs and relevant permissions if you can browse; otherwise list what needs checking. Do not invent results, prices or audience figures. Help me prepare one small test with a spending ceiling, one useful measure and a stopping rule. Explain each step plainly. Do not publish, spend money, open accounts or contact anyone.
