A little preparation.
A lot more clarity.

Short, original checklists to make your consultation easier. Start with the one that fits your next step.

Your checklist

Before your discovery call

  1. Write one sentence about what you want to do.
  2. Find the brand and model if convenient; a description is enough to begin.
  3. Note what happens when you try, and which rooms or devices are affected.
  4. Bring questions about equipment, subscriptions, and the total cost.
  5. Keep passwords, codes, private records, and payment details out of your notes.
Your checklist

Before you automate a task

  1. Describe the repeated task and how often it happens.
  2. Choose a clear starting event and a single useful action.
  3. Decide who approves messages, purchases, or other consequential actions.
  4. Ask what happens if the network is down or a step fails.
  5. Keep a manual alternative and agree how to turn the routine off.
Your checklist

Stay in control during support

  1. Use the phone number on this website to verify an unexpected support contact.
  2. Do not give anyone passwords, verification codes, or access to banking.
  3. Agree on the task, price, and any remote-access method before starting.
  4. Approve only the access needed for the agreed task; ask how to end it.
  5. If a request feels wrong, stop the session and contact us directly.
Your checklist

Before you finish a support session

  1. Try the everyday task yourself while help is still available.
  2. Ask for the steps in language you can follow.
  3. Confirm which accounts, equipment, and subscriptions you control.
  4. Review what changed, what remains unresolved, and any separate costs.
  5. Ask how to request further help; follow-up terms depend on the agreed scope.
