Estimate Draft

You’re asking for a price. Here’s a bit more.

I don’t price based on how many hours I’ll work.
I price based on what you’re asking me to bring:

– My eyes, my ethics, my clarity, my time, my attention,
– My ability to see what others miss, and hold what others drop.

Sometimes you know exactly what you want.
Sometimes you don’t — but you know it matters.

In both cases, I show up fully. The price reflects that.

I don’t do race-to-the-bottom.
I don’t compete with AI or interns.
I don’t match the lowest bidder.

If you want me to estimate, here’s my return question:

What is this worth to you?

What you offer tells me how you value:
– The work
– The process
– My presence
– And your own intentions

From there, I’ll say yes, no, or let’s adjust.

No guesswork. No pretending. No hard feelings.

A note on impact

I travel for this work. You benefit from the perspective it brings.
Together, we leave a trace — let’s make it a conscious one.

I suggest we offset this collaboration’s travel footprint via Trees for All.
You can contribute directly, or I can include it in the total and donate on our behalf.

Just let me know what feels right.


Let’s value the work — and each other — from the start.
