client-discovery
Run a consulting client discovery session — uncover the real problem, scope, and decision process. Use when asked to prepare for a client discovery call, qualify a consulting lead, scope an engagement, or run a kickoff.

# Client Discovery Skill
The brief a client gives you is rarely the real problem — and the difference is where good consulting (and
accurate scoping) lives. This skill preps a discovery session that gets beneath the stated ask to the
actual problem, qualifies whether it's a fit (budget, authority, timeline), and pins the success criteria
— so you scope and price accurately and write a proposal that lands.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- **The prospect** — who they are, the stated ask, and how they found you.
- **Your offering** — what you do, so questions probe fit.
- **What you need to decide** — go/no-go, scope, and price.
