Something to chew on... and this is a hypothetical example but not too far from reality.... A customer comes in and has completely reasonable expectations, a good starting point, say a running driving rust free car as an example....

Spends North of 200K building a PT car with mostly off the shelf (insert vendor of choice here AME, TCI DSE) parts..... and A+ paint job..... A+ interior... ect...

What's that car worth..? 100K..... why would anyone do that? In this thread I see several shop owners basically saying I need customers with either pretty clear expectations and deep pockets.. or unclear expectations and bottomless pockets....

I am looking to solve the equation where a customer has reasonable expectations timeline and budget... Yet, can't seem to find a shop that won't either not deliver... deliver late, deliver poor quality or try to put out a lien on a build ballooned into 3X the budget ...

The way I am hoping to get to that place is to help builders become better at business process..
