Expert Review Request Template
How to ask a domain expert for a focused, time-boxed technical or legal read on a proposal.
technicallegalproposal analysis
Experts give better answers to narrow questions. This template forces the narrowing to happen before the request is sent.
Every request ends with the same clause: the expert is asked to assess evidence and feasibility, never to advise on how to vote.
Preview
What a good request contains
- The specific claim you want tested, not the whole proposal
- A deadline tied to the voting window
- Your current understanding, so the expert can correct it
- Whether you want a written note or a 20-minute call
- A statement that you are not asking for a voting recommendation
