# When should I select an Exploration stage questionnaire/framework?

An Exploration stage questionnaire is typically selected for a company whose lead project has yet to publish a Pre-Feasibility Study.

If a company meets this criteria but is proceeding straight to a full Feasibility Study (or BFS/DFS) then it is advised to talk with Digbee to consider the most appropriate framework.

If a company is disclosing on a project that is a brownfield site and is responsible for significant infrastructure at the mine site then it is advised to talk with Digbee to consider the most appropriate framework.

If you are in any doubt as to which stage to select please [contact us](https://digbee.com/contact/)
