Estimates are wrong in one direction. The fix is not to guess harder but to name the uncertainty and the review rounds separately, so the client can see what they are paying for.

Consejos de experto
- Ten to fifteen percent is a sensible floor when the scope is not locked.
- Write down how many rounds are included. Unlimited revisions is how a fixed price becomes an hourly one.
