The [client] told me they were ready to sign the [contractor agreement] but has just questioned a small setup fee. I don’t want to lose momentum or appear inflexible. Diagnose whether to push the document for signature immediately with a conditional note, to amend the PDF and resend, or to pause and resolve the fee question first. Recommend the best course, explain the risks of each (loss of momentum, scope creep, perceived bad faith), and provide the exact signing request text if I should proceed now.
