Client Red Flag Checklist
Spot project risks before saying yes.
Spot bad-fit clients before you commit
The most expensive projects are the ones you should have declined. This checklist helps you surface the warning signs early — unclear scope, unrealistic timelines, payment hesitancy, disrespect for your process — before you say yes and get stuck.
Running a quick check turns a vague uneasy feeling into concrete, discussable points, which makes it easier to set boundaries, adjust terms, or walk away with a clear reason. Protecting your time upfront is cheaper than escaping a bad engagement later.
Spotting trouble early
Vague scope, rushed timelines, and haggling before value are cheapest to catch before you sign, not after. The checklist runs locally and nothing you note is uploaded.
