Twelve questions that produce the raw material.

These twelve questions produce the raw material for the memory document that gets built into your personal AI operator stack. The more concrete your answers, the more useful the calibration.

There are no right answers. Skip anything that does not apply. Where a question is too broad, narrow it to whatever currently feels like it is taking up the most space in your head.

Time to complete
30 to 45 minutes of thinking, plus a 60-minute call to walk through together.
Format
Send written answers in advance of the call. The call is for follow-ups and texture, not first-pass answers.
Privacy
Answers are received only by Peter. Never shared, never used outside the engagement.

If anything in here feels off or too personal, write a short note in that field instead of an answer. The questions are designed to surface usable signal, not to extract more than you want to share.

The form saves nothing locally. If you want to draft in a separate document and paste in, that is fine. Plain text is fine. Bullets are fine. Sentence fragments are fine.

Question 01
Walk me through a typical week.

What recurs every week, and what varies. Where does most of your time actually go? Where would you want it to go?

Question 02
Who are the eight people you correspond with most?

For each, one or two lines on the texture of the relationship: how that person communicates, what they care about, what tone calibration tends to work, what makes a message land or fall flat.

Question 03
What is the decision you find yourself making over and over that you wish someone else could make for you?

The decision you keep re-litigating. The one where every instance feels new even though the pattern is the same.

Question 04
What is the writing or synthesis task you do most often that drains you?

Not the hardest task, the most frequent one. The one where you sit down and feel the friction before you start.

Question 05
When you have an hour of unscheduled time, where does it tend to go?

And separately: where would you want it to go? The gap between those two answers is interesting.

Question 06
What is the email or message type you procrastinate sending?

What makes that particular type hard? Tone, stakes, ambiguity, the reader?

Question 07
What is the meeting type you walk into least prepared?

And what would help: better synthesis of prior context, a clearer agenda, a structured pre-brief, something else?

Question 08
Where does information you need most often live?

Inboxes, documents, calls, your head, other people's heads. Which of those is the most painful when you cannot find what you need quickly.

Question 09
What language or phrasing do you use that someone reading your work would recognize as yours?

A few signature phrases, a tonal calibration, an opening pattern, a way of ending things. Whatever feels most "you" in writing.

Question 10
What do you not want me to write for you?

Where do you want to keep the human voice, the unmediated thought, the thing that is yours? This matters as much as the things you want help with.

Question 11
Over the next ninety days, what would success look like? What would failure look like?

Both sides. The success picture and the failure picture, in concrete enough terms that someone reviewing your work could tell you which one was unfolding.

Question 12
What have you tried with AI so far that did not work? What has worked surprisingly well?

The actual data from your own experiments matters more than what anyone tells you AI is good at. Where did it disappoint? Where did it surprise you?

Submissions arrive directly in Peter's inbox. Nothing is stored on the site, and nothing is shared outside the engagement. After your answers are received, expect a calendar link for the 60-minute walk-through within one business day.
