"Just one small tweak."

It is round seven. It is not small. And you are going to say yes again, because writing the other email costs more energy than doing the work.

$89, paid once How it works

Design work rarely dies from a bad rate

It dies from a good rate quietly divided by three:

The revision count nobody wrote down.
"Can we also get the source files?" arriving after the invoice.
The $2,000 logo that ends up on packaging, in a campaign, and across four countries.
The brief that says "make it pop" and the budget question that never gets answered.

What Daiko does about it

You set the boundaries once, before the enquiry arrives:

Your floor — below which you'd rather keep your evening.
Your non-negotiables — rounds included, what "final" means, source files priced separately, deposit before the first concept, usage scope, kill fee.
Your target — what you're actually aiming for.

Then it works the inbox. No budget mentioned? It asks — politely, before you do any thinking for free. Half your rate? It counters with your market range, the local freelancer-payment statute, and the scope actually described. It concedes a slice at a time and never crosses the floor.

The round count is worth more than the rate. Projects where a client would have ground you down end at round three instead — not because anyone got stricter, but because "round four is quoted separately" existed before round four did.

Where you come in

When an offer clears your floor — or the gap won't close — you get one email: the money, the terms, their last message. Reply APPROVE, REVISE: three rounds included, extras at 20%, or DECLINE. Nothing is agreed or declined without that reply.

What it does not do

It does not agree or decline for you.
No phone, no video, no in-person negotiation. Email only.
It does not chase invoices, write contracts, or give legal advice.
It is not a lawyer or an agent — the rates and statutes it reports are research, so verify them.
