What we could measure together
Measure: Client-months with all owner-required source statements before preparation (percent).
Agree eligible work, observation window, quality threshold and exclusions with the owner before comparing.
Acceptance boundary: Owner must confirm venture scope; do not collect tax identifiers or real bank documents.
