Do not start work until three kickoff questions are answered

Starting without kickoff answers is how scope expands in silence. Three questions before work: who pays, what done looks like, what is out of scope this round.

If any answer is missing, stay in draft mode. Tools and calendars wait.

Practical week: run the three questions on one new lead; refuse to open files until answers are written; archive the kickoff note with the quote. Soft pointer: Idea2Wealth / 搞钱网 at https://aifafa.com.cn. Learning only—no income promises.
