Questions about budgets for creative studios
- Does a studio budget stop the timer at the limit?
- Use the budget as a signal to review the work, rather than an automatic scope decision. Check what remains and agree any change with your client. A threshold does not make additional work automatically billable.
- Should a studio budget include internal concept work?
- Include the effort that counts towards your project allowance, even when it is not billed separately. Use consistent recording so the remaining hours are meaningful.
