Minimizing the Amount of Work I do up Front

He gets a sheet of paper from me that says “Send me $$$ and I’ll send to you specifications for Phase 1 and a high-level map of the project.”.

Minimizing the up Front Dollar Investment By Him

He sends me $$$ and I deliver to him a multi-page document that provides a good overview of the whole project, as we discussed yesterday, with a detailed specification required to achieve Phase 1. As well the document says “Send me $$$ and I’ll code Phase 1 and deliver the results within an agreed time.”.

If he chooses he can take that specification and hand the work over to a different programmer.

His risk with me is limited to that first small $$$ amount.

Or he can send me a second set of $$$ and I will start work coding from my specifications.

Delivery of Phase 1

I code the program, run the program, and deliver the results with a document which says “Send me $$$ and I’ll send to you specifications for Phase 2 which conform to our high-level map of the project.”.

Specifications of Phase 2

He sends me $$$ and I deliver to him a multi-page document that provides a detailed specification required to achieve Phase 2. As well the document says “Send me $$$ and I’ll code Phase 2 and deliver the results within an agreed time.”.

If he chooses he can take that specification and hand the work over to a different programmer.

His risk with me is limited to that current $$$ amount.

Or he can send me $$$ and I will start work coding from my specifications.

Delivery of Phase 2

I code the program, run the program, and deliver the results with a document which says “Send me $$$ and I’ll send to you specifications for Phase 3 which conform to our high-level map of the project.”.

Specifications of Phase 3

He sends me $$$ and I deliver to him a multi-page document that provides a detailed specification required to achieve Phase 3. As well the document says “Send me $$$ and I’ll code Phase 3 and deliver the results within an agreed time.”.

If he chooses he can take that specification and hand the work over to a different programmer.

His risk with me is limited to that current $$$ amount.

Or he can send me $$$ and I will start work coding from my specifications.

Delivery of Phase 3

I code the program, run the program, and deliver the results with a document which says “There! We are done. Wasn’t that fun?”.

Well, wasn’t it?
