tldr: It's a test for whether the consultant will take the request seriously and give a legit estimate (which will be a huge number). You can fail it in a number of ways:
1) Reject it outright as impossible. (shows unwillingness to consider difficult projects or refusal to let the buyer make the call about what is too much)
2) Assure the buyer you can handle it with no specifics. (shows willingness to overpromise)
3) Give a too-low estimate. (Shows technical incompetence and overoptimism.)

- pclmulqdq 3y agoThere's also "give a too-high estimate" which tells you that they are out of your league.
- SilasX 3y agoAh, okay, I missed that one. But, to be pedantic, it says that's technically not part of the Orange Juice Test: >>If your price had been too high, we would have eliminated you, too. But that’s a different test.
