A practical one-page checklist for freelance videographers and small production teams who want to catch margin leaks, scope gaps, and payment risks before the project starts.
Spot underpriced labor and overlooked project costs
Lock scope, revisions, and change-order expectations
Set milestone payments that protect your cash flow
Use it before every estimate, proposal, or kickoff
A FAST PRE-PROJECT PROFIT CHECK
Account for labor, contractors, equipment, travel, insurance, overhead, and contingency before you quote.
Define deliverables, included revision rounds, approval owners, deadlines, and what triggers a change order.
Choose deposits and milestone payments that reduce cash-flow strain before production expenses hit.
Compare your planned quote with total project cost so you know the margin before you commit.
Put the price, timeline, and approval process for out-of-scope requests in writing before work begins.
Run one final check before the proposal goes out: profitable price, controlled scope, protected cash flow.
