creating what’s next...
Free tool · 15 minutes
You are pricing the hours. You should be pricing the problem.
The Problem Invoice totals what one problem costs the client every year it sits unsolved. Then it hands you a fee floor and a ceiling built on the number instead of your calendar.
Inside the tool
- Bleed: what the problem drains every month. Opportunity: what it blocks. Distraction: whose hours it eats.
- A fee floor at 10 percent of the total. A ceiling at 20.
- The distraction line, the cost spreadsheets never catch.
- Two paths: an AI-guided interview, or straight to paper.
Send this bill to nobody. Read it yourself, twice, before the next proposal.
