CONTACT
Start with the question.
Tell us what system, process or research problem is in scope; what you need to establish; and which records currently exist. A complete evidence package is not required for the first enquiry.
YOUR STARTING RECORD
A concise written enquiry is enough to begin.
ENQUIRY TYPES
Route the question to the right work.
Choose the closest type in the form. The written record helps ODA3 identify whether the enquiry fits current methods and capacity.
Assurance & Evidence
Evidence readiness, provenance, findings and limitations.
Research & Standards
Empirical evaluation, incident research or technical requirements.
Training & Partnerships
Practitioner learning or defined collaborative work.
YOUR ENQUIRY
Describe the current evidence state.
The form records the question, system context and available evidence. Optional fields capture requirements and known gaps. By default it prepares an email you review and send; website delivery can be enabled after mail transport is tested.
WHY WRITTEN SCOPE
A durable starting record improves the next decision.
A concise written description preserves what was originally asked, what was available and what remained unknown. Submitting an enquiry does not itself constitute an assessment, finding, assurance engagement or certification.
AFTER YOU WRITE
A relevant next step, or a clear boundary.
ODA3 reviews the question against the subject matter, evidence requirements and current capabilities. Where the issue is within scope, we will respond with a next step; where it is outside the current mandate, we will say so.
