    You do realise Suity that all those so-called excuses, especially the request for a walkthrough, were their way, rightly or wrongly, of telling you they didn't fully understand the requirements?
    If they don't understand the requirements, then they can only blame the person who wrote the requirements specification.

    And they will.

    And because there are more of them than there are of him, they will win the argument, the implication being that if a whole group of people can't understand the document then the document must be at fault.

        You're not factoring in the 600% utilization, though

              You must spread some reputation around before giving it to SpaceCadet again.
              You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.

                Still, not my problem,
                So basically the same as a uk based consultancy but with a lower price.
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Or, in the real world, not even remotely surprising.

                  Really? Didn't you write the requirements?
