Independence

Stated rules

Neutrality is the most valuable thing an advisor can offer — so it does not hide deep in a contract; it is stated here:

• Where I do vendor selection or vendor oversight, my own company does not bid.
• Where I am a partner — via revenue share or equity — I do not take neutral vendor-selection work.
• If an advisory engagement surfaces development work my own company could do, I flag it in writing — the client decides, under a separate contract and pricing.

My own development company exists: Softlog Informatika Kft (olab.hu). It quotes fixed-price development — but only where the rules above allow.
