- Context: Device/software/cloud platform/dataset/research area involved
- Help needed: Fix, set up, review, secure, analyse, or advise
- Timing: Deadline or preferred timeframe
- Constraints: Remote vs on-site, business hours, confidentiality, access limits
Security & privacy

If access is required, it can be handled securely after engagement.
