If you submit an inquiry for an independent project, I’ll reply with a Project Worksheet: What would you like to work on together? Do you anticipate this will be a short or long-term project? What’s your budget? How specific or exploratory is your quest?

We’ll meet to clarify your interests, goals, budget, and timeline.

We’ll execute a written contract detailing scope, fees, confidentiality, and intellectual-property.

This may include acquiring credentials to access your data, retrieving the data, and/or a site-visit.

If I’m analyzing data for you, this will include a rigorous evaluation of its quality.

We’ll meet at regular intervals to discuss progress. I’ll send updates along the way as milestones are achieved.

This is often publication-quality visuals, explanatory text, and a GitHub repository of code that is or that reveals the thing you want.
