Trying to guess the taxi route in ORD is a fool's errand. Briefing the taxi route in FNC is a waste of time.
Bad idea in my opinion. There is a much higher likelihood of a rushed briefing if waiting until the taxi clearance.
Therefore, do the anticipated briefing at the gate. For places where it would be a waste of time, then perhaps an alternative could be used instead of using the alternative procedure everywhere because it is applicable in a few places.
In addition, not everyone’s experience at ORD is the same so one should not assume that and give advice based on one’s own experience. Example: Southeast Cargo departures or international terminal departures can be reasonably predictable and briefed based on the runway in use and aircraft type.
On occasion, the clearance is different than expected and can be updated.
