No payment for my time or my IP (Intellectual Property). They wanted my intellectual property for their exposure. See Project Lifecycle Workshop: How to Manage Project Risks to Release Successful Products.) I said this in the Successful Indepentent Consulting book : People die of exposure—both hot and cold.

Then I read Lorin Hochstein's brilliant assessment in On productivity metrics and management consultants. McKinsey wrote that report as a way of using their intellectual property (IP) to build political capital at the client. All of us consultants can do the same. Not a consultant who can do X, Y, or Z.

Most consultants tend to use an hourly rate anyway, because it’s the easiest to figure out, there’s less risk of undercharging, and it’s what most clients are used to. Use these sites even if you just left your corporate job because it’s possible your cost-of-living increases didn’t keep up with the market price for your expertise.

When we manage product development for organizations, we work for hire. The company hires you, pays you a wage, and in return, your intellectual property belongs to them. While “one person” may have had the original idea, we need many people to refine the idea and bring that product to market.

Many people who call themselves consultants are employees of large global firms like Accenture, and others perform temporary assignments through a staffing agency. We are our own boss.
