Proposals
Projects that fail rarely fail suddenly. The conditions are usually present in the proposal: an estimate produced without inspection, a scope with no boundary, or a supplier who will not say who does the work.
Count them rather than weighing each. One is normal, three is a pattern.
How the supplier responds to a direct question is more informative than the original signal.
An hour of someone else's time is inexpensive against a project that stalls at sixty percent.
These indicate that the number was produced by a process you cannot inspect.
These indicate a schedule written to be attractive rather than to be met.
These are the ones that are hardest to fix after signing.
The softest signals, and often the most reliable.
One is usually nothing. Two deserves direct questions. Three or more, in a project large enough to matter, is worth an independent review before you commit.
A recommendation tells you about a previous project, not yours. The signals above are about this proposal, and they apply regardless of who made the introduction.
