Price the Project, Protect Your Time

Price the Project, Protect Your Time: make the original promise clear enough to recognize when the work changes.

This 62-page digital PDF guide in English is for freelance service providers in the United States. It uses projects such as editing, design, formatting, and research to connect delivery decisions with the effort and capacity behind a fee.

The chapters cover defining the result, gathering discovery information, writing a usable scope, and estimating the work actually required. They then explore a price floor based on costs and capacity, methods suited to uncertainty, and a proposal that can remain a working record.

The reading makes review rounds, changed work, calendar limits, and project closeout explicit. Fictional cases and exercises examine missing assumptions, different draft versions, and information that needs clarification before making an unlimited promise.

You receive an e-book with an action plan. The guide does not prescribe a market rate, provide a contract suitable for every state, or guarantee profitability; individual legal and business questions need appropriate consideration.

Choose one proposed service and identify its result, assumptions, review process, and conditions for a change.
