I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be ambiguous. I'm not talking about
physical risk, but "doability" risk. Which would entail financial loss
for the company if the part couldn't be made within the quote. I hope

I only do the boring work, that pays, so I can spend my time and creative
energy on the interesting stuff.

BD:

Worded that way seems to make it essentially an employee only
question. But it's a good sub-set of the original question and I'd be
interested in hearing any responses to it as well.

I'm there now....the problem is I'm the one who has to take the machinery
we have at hand and make it into machinery that can do the job. We have
