Article: The first step is knowing the type of outcome you would like from a project.   Having a vision will help you ask the right questions about a consultant’s services.  Identify the type of project you are doing and list the steps that you will need to accomplish the project. Determine the type of help you think you need.  Are your needs technical, design-related, or both?  Will you need one person or a team to work on your project?  Can the work be done remotely or do you need to find someone locally with whom you can meet in person? Ask yourself what kind of developers or specialists you need to hire to accomplish your project. Having an initial vision does not mean that the project has to (or will) turn out exactly like you have envisioned it. Your company’s big-picture goals and mission may be as important as the details of the project itself.  Re-read your company’s mission statement, even if you wrote it yourself. Be explicit about how the project will serve the company’s mission. Change your vision for the project if it does not keep with the company’s overall goals. Identify how the project will improve your company, meet the needs of stockholders or shareholders, or serve your clients. Write a statement about how this project will meet the company’s goals.  You may need to include the statement in your RFP, but it will also help you focus your own goals for the project. You need to have a concrete number for the amount of money you will be able to spend on the project. Being upfront with your allowed budget will help your relationship with the consultant you hire in the long run.  Talk to your accounting or finance department ahead of time.  Don’t just assume you know how much money you will be able to spend on a project. Be sure you are including all parts of the project and all individuals you will need to hire to help you meet the needs of your project. Plan for extra expenses.  Projects—particularly big projects—rarely come in under budget.  Leaving yourself some extra room for unexpected expenses from the beginning will help keep you in the black. Offer a competitive rate.  Remember that paying less often leads to poorer quality.  At the same time, overpaying may not get you a significantly better project than simply paying the “going rate.” You will need to put together a detailed timeline with deadlines for both the proposal and the project itself.   You may want to break the project into steps or stages and assign a different deadline for each step.  Make a reverse calendar.  Start with the final deadline for the finished project and work backwards, determining individual deadlines as you go. Assign a deadline for the proposal that is 2-6 weeks after you send out your RFP, depending on the level of detail and customization you need.  Assign yourself a deadline for writing the RFP as well.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Know what you want. Assess your goals and mission. Determine your budget. Put together a timeline.
Article: A ratio is an expression used to compare two quantities. A simplified ratio can be taken as is, but if a ratio has not yet been simplified, you should do so to make the quantities easier to compare and understand. In order to simplify a ratio, you divide both terms (both sides of the ratio) by the same number. This process is equivalent to reducing a fraction.   Example: 15:21{\displaystyle 15:21} Note that neither number in this example is a prime number. Since that is the case, you'll need to factor both numbers to determine whether or not the two terms have any identical factors that can cancel each other in the simplification process. A factor is a whole number (or expression) that can evenly divide into the term, leaving another whole number (or expression) as the quotient. Both terms in the ratio must share at least one factor (other than the number 1) or the ratio cannot be simplified. Before you can determine if the terms do share a factor, you must discover what the factors of each term are.  Example: The number 15 has four factors: 1,3,5,15{\displaystyle 1,3,5,15}  151=15{\displaystyle {\frac {15}{1}}=15} 153=5{\displaystyle {\frac {15}{3}}=5} In a separate space, list all the factors of the ratio's second term. At this point do not consider the factors of the first term; focus only on factoring this second term.  Example: The number 21 has four factors: 1, 3, 7, 21  211=21{\displaystyle {\frac {21}{1}}=21} 213=7{\displaystyle {\frac {21}{3}}=7} Look at the factors for both terms of the ratio. Circle, list, or otherwise identify any factors that appear in both lists. If the only shared factor is 1, then the ratio is already in its simplest form, and no further work needs to be done. If the two terms of the ratio have other shared factors, however, sort through them and identify the highest factor common to both lists. This number is the greatest common factor (GCF).  Example: Both 15 and 21 share two common factors: 1 and 3 The GCF for the two terms of the original ratio is 3. Since both terms of the original ratio contain the GCF, you can divide each term by that number and come up with whole numbers as a result. Both terms must be divided by the GCF.   Example: Both 15 and 21 are divided by 3.  153=5{\displaystyle {\frac {15}{3}}=5} 213=7{\displaystyle {\frac {21}{3}}=7} You are left with two new terms. The new ratio is equivalent in value to the original ratio, meaning that the terms in one ratio are in the same proportion as the terms in the other ratio. Note that the terms of the new ratio should not share any common factors between them (other than 1). If they do, the ratio is not yet in simplest form.   Example: 5:7{\displaystyle 5:7} The point of all this is that the simplified ratio 5:7 is easier to work with than the original ratio 15:21.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Look at the ratio. Factor the first term. Factor the second term. Find the greatest common factor. Divide both terms by the greatest common factor. Write down the new simplified ratio.
