Check whether this option fits my offer, audience and location before making a plan. Ask a few questions at a time. Verify official eligibility, current product naming, fees and relevant permissions if browsing is available; otherwise list what needs checking. Do not invent costs, access or results. Suggest one small test only if it is suitable, with a maximum spend, one useful measure and a stopping rule. Explain unfamiliar terms. Do not publish, pay, open accounts or contact anyone.
