Price the decision, not just the hours
Time matters, but clients are paying for judgment, momentum and a finished outcome. Begin by defining the work, the level of ownership and the review effort it requires.
Put the number in context
Share what the rate includes, what is outside the agreed scope and when a change request should be discussed. Clear terms help a client compare options fairly and help you avoid absorbing new work for free.
