recommendations
What experts suggest
Recommendations are suggestions or advice about what someone should do, choose, or try.
A doctor gives recommendations for treatment; a friend offers restaurant recommendations.
The word often implies endorsement: a letter of recommendation vouches for someone's qualifications.
I'm open to recommendations signals willingness to receive guidance.
To come with a recommendation is to arrive pre-approved by a trusted source.
