    {
      "question": "Do we need a complete specification?",
      "answer": "No. Examples of the work, people involved and where the current approach falls short are enough to begin. Discovery turns that context into a scope you can assess."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can you work with our existing software?",
      "answer": "Yes. We first review its condition, access, dependencies and available integration options. The recommendation may be an improvement, a connection to another tool or a scoped rebuild."

    {
      "question": "How are cost and timing agreed?",
      "answer": "They depend on scope, data, integrations and the decisions still unresolved. We discuss those dependencies before agreeing a project or an initial review; there is no universal package or delivery promise."
