House rules: cameras on (bandwidth permitting), Volunteer keeps time, no slides unless the brief asks, confidential by default.

Here is a typical call agenda for a 55-minute call: Warm intros (0–5) → Context (5–10) → Deep-dive & advice (10–40) → Action recap (40–50) → Close & feedback (50–55)

Use the Calendly link in your confirmation to reschedule. Please limit reschedules to two. No-show once? We'll try to rebook. Repeat no-shows may pause access during the pilot.

Provide concise, asynchronous advice per the brief. Upload a PDF or Google Doc link. Keep it plain, skimmable, and actionable (bullets, numbered steps, links to any frameworks/templates).
