Sourcing ideas (where the list comes from)
- Past employers / former colleagues now in small consultancies (warmest — start here).
- LinkedIn: engineering consultancies 10–100 staff in VIC/NSW; filter by delivery-manager titles.
- Industry bodies and tender portals: firms bidding government infrastructure work
(they feel the governance/documentation pain hardest).
- Suppliers/subcontractors you met on prior projects (Kais, Marinus Link, Tasman Ring networks).
After each interview
Append a row to INTERVIEW_LOG.md and update the pay-signal column here. The Concept→Validation gate arithmetic lives in DISCOVERY_INTERVIEW_GUIDE.md.
