Questions about estimates for consultancies
- Does an estimate replace a consulting contract?
- An estimate records the proposed work, price, and terms you provide. It does not replace any separate engagement agreement your practice needs. Keep your accepted scope consistent across the documents you send to the client.
- Can I change the estimate after the client requests more interviews?
- Revise the proposed work and fee so the client can consider the change. Confirm the accepted version before beginning the additional research.
