    Depends on the size of the project, and the size of your company etc.

    you don't want to spend 3 weeks writing a functional spec for a project thats only going to bring in 2k

    essentially you need to

    * Define Functionality
    * Define Technical Structure
    * Define Dependancies
    * Define Deliverables
    * Define any Legal Requirements
    * Define Deadlines
    * Define Penalties
    * Define Charges

    Get everything signed by both parties

    Are you going to commit to say 2 weeks of requirements capture if there's a chance the client could walk away?

    Do you include a consultancy fee so they can take your req/cap analysis to another developer or is it 'not for disclosure to third party'...

    ...good luck!
