Hours are drawn down on request. **Fixed price** When the result can be described and checked: fixed price, stated deliverables. ## How the work runs - First we write down what has to be done and how we tell it is finished. Nothing starts without that, not even a single hour. - Rates come with the quote, not from this page: they depend on urgency and on the client. A quote is valid for fifteen days. - Every payment is tied to a proforma invoice. The electronic invoice is issued once the amount has cleared. - Travel is agreed separately and covers the day, the expenses and the time the journey takes away. ## Forms of agreement, not catalogue services They get assessed case by case and need a written contract before any work starts. | | | |---|---| | Technical sales role for a vendor | presales, demos, technical answers, tender specifications: by day or by block | | Technical partner in a tender | qualifying expertise in a consortium or as a subcontractor, once the tender requirements have been checked | | Equity or revenue share | work in exchange for a revenue share or equity, only with a written scope, milestones and a way out.
