Before
Bring one real problem
The ticket that keeps escalating, the migration you keep deferring, or the job your team repeats every week. A specific example is worth more than a general brief.
Bring us the escalation your team can’t close, the project you’ve been turning down, or the process that eats your week. We’ll tell you honestly whether we’re the right fit.
That is almost always an ad blocker or a company network blocking booking widgets, not a problem with your machine. Two ways round it:
What happens next
The call is about whether the work fits. If it doesn’t, we’ll say so on the call rather than sending a proposal.
Before
The ticket that keeps escalating, the migration you keep deferring, or the job your team repeats every week. A specific example is worth more than a general brief.
On the call
We push it until it has a trigger, a source, an action, an output, and a named person who reads it. That is the point at which work can be priced.
After
You get a defined scope and a fixed price, or a clear answer that this isn’t something we should take on.
