Actually, coming from a marketing perspective, this model is sort of like the Kickstarter model. Those who take a risk with a logo before the design firm has been established with a reputation will get a high discount factor but as more cli

The cause and effect one is kind of interesting to me, it's almost like having a life coach/accountant that gives it to you straight and keeps you on track. For example, what if it knew you got a penalty fee for being late on payi
