Questions to ask
How to Judge This Work
Ask these questions before approving scope, timing, or budget. They help confirm whether the work includes documentation, ownership, security impact, and the follow-up needed after the first fix.
Is the assessment evidence-based?
Recommendations should be tied to observed systems, screenshots, reports, or interviews.
Are findings prioritized?
A long list is less helpful than a clear top-five risk and action sequence.
Will it help with budgeting?
Assessment work should make future costs easier to plan, not harder.
