CRITICAL QUESTIONS TO RESOLVE
==============================

Before contract finalization, confirm:

1. [ ] Is $6,600 first year budget acceptable?
2. [ ] Is $2,000 upfront payment feasible?
3. [ ] Can client wait 3-4 weeks for development to start?
4. [ ] Does HomeProz have logo/branding assets ready?
5. [ ] Is manual MLS entry sufficient or need full IDX?
6. [ ] How many email accounts need migration?
7. [ ] What is exact legal business entity name?
8. [ ] Annual or monthly hosting billing preference?
9. [ ] Who purchases ACF Pro license ($49/year)?
10. [ ] Are ongoing costs ($600-2,000/year) sustainable?


DECISION TREE
=============

Budget OK?
├─ YES → Proceed with full scope as drafted
└─ NO → Offer alternatives:
         - Phased approach (basic site first)
         - Payment plan ($500/month x 12)
         - Reduced scope (fewer features)
         - Template-based site ($3,500)

Timeline OK (3-4 week wait)?
├─ YES → Proceed as scheduled
└─ NO → Offer alternatives:
         - Rush fee +20% ($1,200) for immediate start
         - Reduce scope for faster launch
         - Defer project until schedule opens

MLS Integration?
├─ Manual entry only → Included in current scope
├─ IDX property display → +$2,000-3,000 additional
├─ Full IDX database → +$5,000-10,000 additional
└─ No MLS → Remove MLS-related deliverables

Email Migration?
├─ Simple (1-3 accounts) → 2 hours likely sufficient
├─ Complex (5+ accounts) → Quote additional time
└─ Client handles → Remove from scope


SUCCESS METRICS
===============

Project is successful if:
✓ Launched within 4-5 weeks of contract signing
✓ HomeProz staff can easily add/manage property listings
✓ Properties display properly with photos and details
✓ Site is responsive and works on mobile devices
✓ Search/filtering helps visitors find properties
✓ MLS integration (if applicable) functions as designed
✓ Email migration (if applicable) completed smoothly
✓ Client is trained and confident using the system
✓ Site is secure, fast, and professionally presented

RISK MITIGATION
================

Risks and mitigations built into contract:

Risk: Scope creep
Mitigation: Clear deliverables list, exclusions, written change order process

Risk: Timeline delays from client
Mitigation: Client responsibilities section, 30-day delay clause

Risk: MLS integration complexity
Mitigation: Scoped as "planning" only, full IDX explicitly excluded

Risk: Design expectations exceed assets provided
Mitigation: Design work limited to "consultation" and "customization"

Risk: Email migration more complex than expected
Mitigation: Capped at 2 hours, additional time billed separately

Risk: Ongoing hosting costs unsustainable for startup
Mitigation: Clear first-year total, ongoing cost transparency, 30-day cancel

Risk: Client wants features after launch
Mitigation: 60-day warranty for bugs only, new features quoted separately

Risk: Non-payment
Mitigation: $2,000 upfront, $4,600 due at launch before going live


ALTERNATIVES IF NEEDED
=======================

If budget is tight:
OPTION A: Phased Approach
- Phase 1: $4,000 - Basic site, manual property entry
- Phase 2: $2,000 - ACF system and advanced features
- Hosting: $600/year starting with Phase 1

OPTION B: Template-Based Site
- $3,500 - Premium theme + basic customization
- Hosting: $600/year
- Faster launch, less custom

OPTION C: Monthly Payment Plan
- $500/month x 12 months = $6,000 development
- $50/month hosting
- Total: $550/month first year

If timeline is urgent:
OPTION D: Rush Fee
- +$1,200 (20% premium) for immediate start
- Total development: $7,200
- Launch within 2 weeks

If scope is too much:
OPTION E: Reduced Scope
- $4,500 - Simpler site, fewer features
- Manual property entry only (no ACF)
- Basic theme customization
- Hosting: $600/year
