Engagement process:
Step 1 - Initial Call (~1 hour) - We will discuss your needs and identify how I could best help
Step 2 - Quote - Based on the initial request and my understanding of your needs, I will draft a brief quote and initial estimate of the hours that might be required. The quote will stipulate the payment schedule and the possibility of adjusting if needed
Step 3 - Once the Quote is approved by you we start the work
Step 4 - Close-out - Once all the agreed-upon deliverables and work are completed and accepted we will close out the engagement.
