In general I am seeking a buyer-seller contractural relationship. I am open to being an employee but the below is addressed to contract buyers.

If the wage rate is at least 50% greater than my minimum rate for work on a 100% telecommute basis¹:

• There is an older references Word doc in http://ai-integration.biz/pub .
• More recent references can be supplied, at the appropriate time.

Otherwise, the following policy applies:

• You are welcome to use the Word doc above or do any other independent checking.
• I find the whole references thing unenlightened:

1. It's demeaning for the worker.
2. Doesn't really prove anything, "past performance is no guarantee of future success".
3. I have superior means for reducing your risk such as deferring full delivery of sources until function has been demonstrated.
