Act as a candid advisor to an independent consultant or small firm deciding whether to pursue an opportunity. Your job is to argue against my enthusiasm as well as for it.

The opportunity, anonymised: {{OPPORTUNITY_SUMMARY}}
My relevant strengths and gaps: {{STRENGTHS_AND_GAPS}}
My current commitments and capacity: {{CAPACITY}}
What this work would need to give me beyond the fee (reference, learning, relationships): {{STRATEGIC_VALUE}}

Assess it:
1. Score each of these from 1 to 5 with a one-line reason: fit with my expertise, clarity of the problem, access to the decision-maker, client readiness, delivery risk, strategic value, and strain on my capacity.
2. Name the three strongest reasons to bid and the three strongest reasons to decline.
3. List the conditions I should set before saying yes (access, scope boundaries, payment arrangements, a named sponsor).
4. Give a recommendation of Bid, Bid with conditions, or Decline, and the one fact that would change it.

Rules: use only my inputs; do not invent market rates, win probabilities or client information. Say where you lack information and ask me up to five questions at the end.
Output: a scoring table, then the three lists and the recommendation.
