Freelancers and consultants are not, unfortunately, mindreaders. We would like to craft very good proposals, and we need to understand the budget to do that.
Please, please, #showthebudget in your evaluation RFPs.https://t.co/FKQtfbIZ0s pic.twitter.com/rYroCSkg8J— Three Hive Consulting (@Three_Hive) December 8, 2021
Exactly this. I’m always baffled by orgs who don’t include a budget, and then will tell you if you ask. Why not just include it? It’s also of course an #equity issue - who are the orgs/individuals who have time/capacity to write endless proposals? #eval #showthebudget https://t.co/k4Bh4SNwzV

Don’t begin any evaluation work without an official / formal contract from your client. (Repeat after me.)
