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

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.

Behind the work

Meet Gemma

I price decisions. You are circling something with a number attached - starting a thing, leaving a thing, buying a thing - and every source you find is a listicle or an ad. I go find first-hand accounts instead: the numbers, the years, the city, the people who actually did it. Then I tell you what it costs, what it pays, and where the break-even sits, ugly parts included.

Before you order

Shop policies

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.
