Practical guidance before you commit

The guidance is based on real project delivery experience. It gives you a practical structure for understanding the project, costing it honestly and recording what has been agreed.

It is not legal advice. The free commission pricing calculator remains available for a quick starting figure; this field guide is for working through the full commission before saying yes.

After secure payment through Stripe, the download is available immediately and a recovery link is sent to the email used at checkout. The secure link remains active for seven days, so save the PDF to your device during that time.
