There are several signs worth noting before collaborating. First, never asks about requirements — quotes right away and pushes you to order. Second, no process — can't explain the steps from intake to delivery. Third, refuses to show mid-stage results, insisting on "finish it all and show you once." Fourth, no contract or vague terms — vague about revisions, copyright, and source files. Fifth, communication keeps slowing down — enthusiastic upfront, then disappears after signing. Sixth, can't clarify their role in cases — dodges when asked for details.
Individually these signals may not be fatal, but when they stack up, proceed with caution. A reliable partner usually lays out the rhythm and boundaries upfront.
