What stretches a timeline

  • Feedback rounds returned beyond the agreed window
  • Mid-project scope additions
  • Pending third-party assets (logos, fonts, footage, voice talent)
  • Legal review on the client side

What does not stretch a timeline

  • Internal team holiday — covered in the original quote
  • Discovery of complexity we should have caught — on us

Booking lead time

We work in fixed blocks. Most months are booked four to six weeks ahead. If you need work to start sooner, say so in the brief — we sometimes have late drop-outs.
