A useful first conversation with an adviser

Share the same brief with each potential adviser. Ask for a proposed scope and an example of the deliverable you would receive. Agree how findings will be documented so that another specialist can use them without repeating the work.

Which comparable Swedish assignments can you discuss, and what was your actual role?
Who will do the work, in which language, and who is responsible for reviewing it?
What information do you need from us, and which assumptions will remain unverified?
What will the deliverable cover, what does it exclude, and what decisions can it support?
Do you represent a seller, receive referral fees or have interests in any proposed site or supplier?
What are the fee basis, availability, confidentiality terms and next agreed milestone?
