TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
My impression is that it was a freelance consultant on a finite
project (regardless of the length of time) with specific
deliverables.
Besides...it's not that cut a dry. Submit the first items, invoice,
then progress on to the next phase. if the client develops a poor
payment habit from the start, you know something valuable.
Besides2 I submitted that example as an answer to a specific
question..."can I give an example of staged deliverables". The answer
was against that question...nothing else.
