A clear, limited outline is enough to begin an informed conversation.

The short answer
A first assessment should establish the type of incident, payment method, approximate timing, countries involved and records available. You do not need to supply unrestricted account access or every personal document. A concise outline helps the reviewer identify what further evidence would be relevant.
What to check and preserve
Prepare a short chronology, the platform's exact domain, payment references and the outcome of reports already made. State clearly what you know and what remains uncertain. Ask the reviewer what work is proposed, who will perform it, how findings will be documented, and what realistic action those findings could support.
Limits and important distinctions
Submission is not a guarantee of acceptance or recovery and does not create legal representation. Before agreeing to paid work, obtain written scope, fees, cancellation terms and data-handling information. No assessment should require passwords, verification codes, private keys or seed phrases.
Checklist
- Prepare the key facts without secret credentials.
- List reports already made and their references.
- Ask for specific deliverables and limitations.
- Obtain written terms before paid work.
