Start with the business change, audiences, existing equity, portfolio, languages, decision-makers, rollout surfaces, legal jurisdictions, timeline and implementation budget. Ask who conducts the research, who makes the work, how alternatives are tested, where naming clearance ends and legal advice begins, what files and rights you receive, how the system works accessibly across real touchpoints, and who trains and supports your teams after launch. A famous portfolio is not evidence that the same people will work on your engagement.
