Genuinely useful, thank you. I had the facts and not the framework. Adding it to my notes with a link back to this thread.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly. Worth answering the question that was asked rather than the one behind it. The narrow version usually has an answer; the broad version usually does not, and answering the broad one is how a thread stops being useful.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.
