Observation: Some of the briefings I get sent for potential design/dev projects became much more extensive and detailed in the last 1–2 years, often including adjacent tasks that are not typically part of my service offering, and loads of nice-to-haves. I think this is AI influence.
If I quote according to all the demands in these briefings, the quote gets unrealistically high quickly. As a result, more communication work is needed nowadays to get to a realistic agreement for both sides.
