# Skill: Run conflict-checked intake
The worst client is the one you should have declined.
## Step 1 — Conflict check
Screen for conflicts against existing/former clients (§3 #2).
## Step 2 — Fit and viability
Assess the matter's merit, the client, and the economics.
## Step 3 — Scope and fee
Set the scope and the fee structure deliberately (§3 #4).
## Step 4 — Decide
Recommend engage/decline, routing the call to the attorney.
## Output
A conflict screen, a fit/viability read, a scoped fee structure, and an engage/decline recommendation.
