In order to provide a potential client with an estimate of hours and fee, the potential client needs to provide the following information upon contact:

1.1. For research and policy analysis:
the Scope of the Work or the Terms of Reference (which can be arrived at through a discussion), which may include the problem to be addressed, research questions to be answered, methods to be used, length of time, deadlines, reporting requirements, etc.

1.2. For monitoring and evaluation: the Scope of the Work or the Terms of Reference (which can be arrived through a discussion), which may include if and how many workshops and stakeholder consultations the client wants us to hold, the nature and scope of any monitoring framework to be developed, the nature and scope of any evaluation tools to be developed, reporting requirements, deadlines, etc.

1.3. For training, workshops, meeting facilitation: the Scope of the Work or the Terms of Reference (which can be arrived at through a discussion), which may include the topic(s) to be addressed in the training/workshop/meetings, pedagogical or didactic methods, grading requirements, learning objectives, course material, delivery method (in-person, online, hybrid), duration, dates of delivery, etc.

1.4. For writing: the Scope of the Work or Terms of Reference (which can be arrived at through discussion), which may include the kind of writing to be completed (web content, news media article, book, etc.), length, stylistic preferences, content, deadlines, intended impact, etc.

Based on the information the potential client provides me, I will offer the potential client an estimate of hours and fee. When we come to an agreement on the fee and hours, I will send the potential client a Contract for signature. The contract will stipulate the parties of the contract, the scope of the services, compensation, my responsibilities as an independent contractor, confidentiality, and guarantees.

After I have completed my work as contractually agreed, and the client received the agreed upon work product(s), the client may
a) accept the work product(s) as submitted, in which case the contract is terminated with the satisfaction of both parties.


b) accept the work product(s) as submitted, but request additional work in terms of revisions and modifications, in which case the client and I will discuss whether additional fees apply. I am willing to do reasonable free revisions working with a client for the first time, because I realize that learning a client's style and preferences can take a little time.
