> Should you be charging clients for time that you didn't have to spend because you made some good decisions upfront? In a lot of consulting gigs, you don't do time-and-material. You do fixed price. So, you invested _your_ time and you took the risk of creating such solution, even when the client sweared that some requirement would never change. In most contracts, if you, as the contractor, make a mistake, it's up to you to fix it. If you trusted the client, you'd have to charge 10 at any CR instead of 1. So, it makes perfect sense to charge at least 5, or maybe even 10. (ofc if you're working time&material or in an agile/flexbile fashion where there's trust between client and consultant, this doesn't apply)
