Since I have trouble with the value extraction thing, something I also put in perspective is how fast can I finish this against the normal standards? If I can work much faster, have a well established codebase will all sorts of shortcuts to the solution, fixed price will allow me to get paid 10, 20 times more with it actually being cheaper than a normal hourly rate would cost.

Hourly makes you always take your time, I prefer to be able to compress 10 normal development hours into one as much as possible and have more free time.

For too long I have been punished for working fast with hourly rates, I avoid it like the plague. The next step after this are products.
