I do specialist diagnostics for problems that in-house techs/engineers have so far been unable to resolve, and the range of technologies involved is huge, from legacy electrical/electronics to bleeding edge stuff . I've responded to their call and invested my time on travel time & costs and on-site diagnostics, plus research time and report preparation in my office, sometimes building special tools/diagnostic aids specifically for that site, so I expect to be paid in full whether I fix the problem or not . I have been stiffed a couple of times by vanishing clients, but I am still watching for them and if they do reappear I'll be on their doorstep! The 'stiffers' I love the most are those who find they need to call me again, so they receive my special 'Jesse James' discount, which ranges from +5 to +25% depending on how desperate they are, and how deep I think their pockets might be .
