Asking for permission

I’m thinking it might be better to ask for permission before fetching current data or offer to compute results from reliable sources if the user has a specific cutoff date in mind. Since they posted a statement, they may want to see a chart or a complete ranking. I could respond with a question about their needs and offer to provide top 20 rankings or league breakdowns. Keeping things concise is essential, so I'll ask for clarification. Let's go with that!
