Against an agency
An agency does good work when the brief holds. The problem is not skill: it is that nothing replays identically, and the billed unit is the day.
| Criterion | Agency | Saywell |
|---|---|---|
| Work | A day-rate team, the brief retold on every project. | A pipeline bounded by format, replayable as-is. |
| Experts | Whoever is free this week. | Seven bounded expertises, the same on every job. |
| Unit | Days and retainers, a negotiated scope. | Weighted minutes: generation 1×, Review A 0.5×, Review B 1.5×. |
| Memory | Context lives in an inbox. | Persona and workspace memory, confirmed field by field. |
| After the shoot | A recap, sometimes. | Review inside the product, then retention attached to the beats of the plan. |
| Overage | A change order or an extension. | No overage billed: the job does not start, an upgrade is offered. |
