Work through the decision
- Identify what the absent case should demonstrate: audience knowledge, technical delivery, language review or coordination. A sector logo would not prove all four.
- Request a relevant artefact without confidential data: a research plan, acceptance log, field map or handover structure. Apply the same request to each candidate.
- Consider a bounded diagnostic engagement. Define an observable output and continuation decision before buying a broad recurring scope.
Decision to take away
Missing evidence does not establish inability. Narrow the first commitment and make acceptance explicit.
