I could pay you either per-hour or per-specific-question. As we get to know each other we could skip the estimates and deposits; I'd just fire the questions off and you'd fire off the answers and the bills. I promise speedy payment via Paypal or check. You needn't be local, or even in the United States. You needn't have any particular qualifications, as long as you can answer the questions with reasonable ease. But a few words about your qualifications would be good. Resume not needed. In the best of worlds this would turn into a full-time job for a startup in maybe nine months. But no promises.
