Define the job in one paragraph
Say who the person will work with and what should exist when the assignment ends. An adviser, a workshop lead and a campaign presenter are different briefs. Do not combine them until each role is priced and reviewed.
Ask for evidence that matches the job
A public talk, a permissioned case example or a design portfolio can be useful. Ask what the person actually did. A famous employer name is not a substitute. Keep confidential client detail out of the first exchange.
Write the geography and the clock
Name the time zones, whether the work is remote or on-site, and whether travel across Asia, Europe or the United States is required. GEOSTICH reviews those territories when they are part of the brief. A recorded workshop and a live room need different logistics.
Set review and risk before tools
For an AI-related assignment, agree evaluation cases and a named human reviewer. NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework is a voluntary reference for considering risk; it is not a certification GEOSTICH issues.
Keep the responsible company visible
Your GEOSTICH inquiry goes to the GEOSTICH team. Fashion, hospitality or Thailand production may belong to another company in the collective. Any introduction is discussed; it is not automatic.
The working checklist
- Role, output and audience.
- Relevant work examples.
- Time zones, travel and access.
- Reviewer and fallback.
- Usage if the work will be published.
