Other problem can be also giving away
models and methods, because there are many
smartasses that are just looking
after knowledge to do the job themselfs.


We have a methodology and would not hesitate in giving it to our clients, we
do so regularly, and we also abstract from this a detailed test plan for
them. These documents allow for some form of measurement in all of this and
as a result if a cowboy tries to sell them a $500 remote scan they have
something to compare it too.

The 'right' sort of client will have already identified that doing the job
themselves is not the right approach I would hope, regardless of how smart
their ass is.
