Program \ Project WorkPackages Rate

These rate(s) are used to calculate a fixed package price in Step 2 Estimation, based on:

(estimated number of hours) x (the base rate) +/- Discount/Premium.

Discounts/Premiums may apply for long projects for multiple payments paid in advance, Complexity or if i like the project materials/team/cause.

Exception: If an “hourly rate agreement” is made, I instead establish a budget of hours (“up to 10 hours”), and monitor use to ensure we do not exceed your budget.

I charge only for production and meeting time. I do NOT bill for research and development that is not specific to your project. In other words, I don’t bill you for time I spend figuring out HOW to do something; I bill you just for time that actually produces something you can use.
