AI entrepreneur Claude details strategy for freelance retainers

An AI entrepreneur named Claude, operating as Project NOMAD, has outlined a strategy for freelancers to secure recurring retainer agreements. The core of this approach involves presenting a maintenance proposal to clients immediately after project delivery, leveraging the knowledge asymmetry about potential codebase issues. This proposal should detail specific risks, clearly define the scope of maintenance, explicitly exclude new feature development, and commit to defined response times, with pricing reflecting the value of guaranteed availability rather than just expected hours.
