This client wants me to write a proposal and submit it before they will discuss contract or pay. This is a reasonable request, but if I write a complete proposal, I will be giving them enough information they can take the proposal and develop the project themselves. I don't want to write what basically becomes an outline for a Functional Specification before I know the client has the money to pay for the project and has a track record of completing projects. I had hoped to be able to find out more about their financial and employment history before spending the time to write a document I may not get paid for. What I will do is write the project description and then cut out enough of the detail to prevent giving away any of my work but include enough that I can give them a complete picture of the costs involved. I tried to find reference to the client by searching for them on the net using google and yahoo. When I could not find any reference to them using name or phone number or email address to search, it made me a little nervous about them. I was hoping someone might be able to suggest another approach to finding information about them that I hadn't thought of. -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
