Describe the narrow task
Write one sentence that names the documents, the fields and the destination. For example: convert approved delivery notes into a reviewed item table with reference, code, quantity and unit. Avoid a vague request to automate paperwork. List document classes that are explicitly outside the first version. This makes it possible to judge whether a candidate meets the need without asking it to solve every adjacent operational problem.
Record the constraints
List expected volume and variation, permitted data handling, required output format, review ownership and the systems already approved for use. Separate hard constraints from preferences. A desired interface style is not equivalent to a required export format. Check the current product documentation and applicable plan for each hard constraint; a feature name alone does not establish that the precise route is available to your account.
Specify the failure behavior
Say what should happen when a required field is missing, a layout is unfamiliar or a destination write has an uncertain outcome. Require a reviewable state rather than silently guessed data or automatic repetition. Decide which questions need an authorized account owner, security reviewer or process owner. This publication cannot approve private-data handling, make an account grant or certify that a workflow is appropriate for regulated use.
Bring evidence to the purchase decision
Attach the field contract, representative sample plan and acceptable operating-cost assumptions. Compare a candidate, a meaningful alternative and the current process against the same brief. Do not register multiple accounts simply to chase a demonstration link. Review trial and billing terms before any signup. Continue to the review-only pilot once the requirements are stable; a completed checklist is preparation, not proof that a product has passed it.
