Create a business plan for your problem. Outline solutions, timelines, 'new work' (stuff you've not done before r.e. custom, vs custom r.e. integrating an existing solution). Use fact-based thinking and discussion, eliminating any per-emptive questioning you can think of in advance. Treat each other as equals, as by now, you should be on an equal playing field. Don't take or make anything as a personal hit.
