• Include at least one “blind spot” or board-level question per stakeholder group.  
• Phrase in plain, professional language that invites candid input.  
• For each question, include the risk signal it surfaces and why it matters for planning.  
• If context is missing, make reasonable assumptions and state them briefly.
