Three first questions
Describe the responsibility before the archive.
Who is involved?
The people who hold knowledge, appear in the record, make decisions, or may be affected.
What would help first?
A small return that creates clarity now and gives everyone something real to review.
No technical threshold
You can begin in the form that feels natural.
The Institute can operate the structure behind the person. No dashboard, file naming system, or archive clean-up is required before the first conversation.
Talk
Begin with a conversation in your own language, with pauses, uncertainty, and digressions allowed.
Walk
Show a garden, workshop, room, street, or collection and explain it in place.
Bring
Start with one box, ledger, artwork, folder, photograph, message, or meaningful object.
Review
Receive a first return in plain language and decide what is right, missing, private, or wrong.
Prefer to speak first?
Send a simple note describing what matters. No preparation or technical vocabulary is needed.
