Surely you know the costs??


Isn't honesty the best policy, where does commercial sense come into calculations... like the client with the unseen bill, 9K so far and still further to go...

 

A Client, we will call "A" for the purpose of the Blog (only because its easy to type). A , recently approached GSPK Design with an unfinished project, A approached company B earlier to carry out some "Development work" to help get A some VC Funding for the Idea.

 

After several months, and several invoices from B, A ended up with some Rapid Prototypes. These prototypes were mere models and would require further work to actual produce working units. Which low and behold A couldn't afford....

 

A, Originally wanted actual working units, Surely B could have indicated up front what the total cost would be... which yes probably would have made A re-think a little and possibly not go ahead..

 

But instead, short sightedness prevailed and A - is left short on all accounts... and B is looking for other suspects...
