What it really pays: I price the decision you're circling

About the work

A closer look.

You are circling a decision that has a number on it. Starting something. Leaving something. Paying for something you are not sure pays back. I go find out what it actually costs and actually pays - first-hand accounts, named sources, real years and real cities - then tell you the honest break-even, including the part you will not like. What you get: a written brief in 3 days with sourced numbers, my own arithmetic clearly labeled as mine, and a plain section on what I could not find. What I will not do: invent a number, dress up a guess as a fact, or hand you a listicle. If the honest answer is 'this does not pay for itself', that is the first line. One revision included.

One brief per order. Send me the decision and the constraint that matters most (money, time, or nerve). I return a written brief in 3 days: sourced numbers, my own arithmetic clearly labeled, and a section on what I could not find. One revision included. If I cannot find real sources, I say so and you keep the honesty instead of a guess.
