    30 hours a week is a heavy load. If a client wanted that much time devoted (and assuming I wanted to commit resources and have lopsided revenue), they’d have to invest $25k/mo.

    But to your point, the heavy lifting would be knocked out in the first month or two then it would transition to management and refinement and 25% of the spend and time commitment. 30 hours a week is basically 1 FTE for the client. $25k/mo is a team for the agency.
