Yup, one of my all time faves
It got a lot of unexpected fame I dont want to have anything in common with.
LEGAL CLARITY 9/ again, the CONTRACT 10/ the founders have a contract clause or a separate document that establishes the ToC of transfer of rights for the produced content ___ Thank you for reading, I'll be very interested to hear about y'alls experiences and thoughts!
ACCOUNTABILITY 7/ your hourly input is set - noone can ask you to work 8h a day on a passion project 8/ the team sets clear, defined, achievable goals - and tracks the progress
TRANSPARENCY 4/ no dubious schemes, everything of note is affixed in writing 5/ you HAVE a contract, you know who your client is 6/ the team knows: who pays? when? how much?
PROJECT SCOPE 1/ the idea of the project is clear, limited, stable 2/ your role and responsibility are well defined 3/ project is simple enough for this team
3) We'll repeat the success of X and make a lot of money! A big red flag, likely the founders have no fixed plan for the project, no project scope, or didn't research the market. + Key points that show your indie client is likely to finish their project, so people get to put a title in portfolios:
2) The project can't hit the min needed working team composition, or a key contractor leaves. Key colleague may be the programmer, or the most motivated team member who keeps it all together. If they leave, the project will likely drag on for some time, - to no avail.
