This is a curated English edition of a legacy Portuguese article originally published on 2025-04-30. It preserves the public argument and editorial intent while avoiding private details, operational state, or unsupported new claims.

## Core idea

The legacy article adapts a management tool to LLM work: who, what, when, where, why, how, and how much become a checklist for better questions.

The method helps prevent shallow answers. It forces scope, assumptions, stakeholders, constraints, and evidence into the conversation.

## Editorial note

This translation was prepared during the governed migration of the legacy blog into the GitHub Pages hub. Technical references may age; when the topic involves law, public policy, infrastructure, or model behavior, treat the article as educational context and verify current sources before acting.
