Scope a fixed-price freelance project
Reduce ambiguity by defining outcomes, assumptions, revision limits, and change control.
Price a bounded outcome
Translate the request into deliverables and acceptance criteria. Identify dependencies the client must provide.
Expose uncertainty
List assumptions and risky unknowns. Use a paid discovery phase when the solution cannot be estimated responsibly.
Control changes
Define revision rounds and a written process for new scope. A change should include its impact on price and schedule before work continues.
