How it works

Nobody speaks first. The overlap does.

Asking “what’s your budget?” turns it into a game. FairPrice is a sealed bid: both ranges go in privately, then the math.

Title, brief, and the range you will actually accept.

They see the brief. Not your numbers.

Same private range. Still hidden from you.

Overlap? Midpoint. Miss? You skip the proposal.

Why open negotiation fails

The first number becomes the ceiling.

Anchoring. Whoever speaks first sets the board.

Honesty gets punished.

Clients lowball. Freelancers inflate. Everyone knows.

You find out after the proposal.

Hours gone on a gap you could have seen in a minute.

A sealed bid makes honesty the winning move. Lying can only miss a match you would have taken.
