Extra notes: More details will be given to whoever gets awarded the job. This is a work for hire, for a blog section in a management consulting firm website. It shall be directed to small business owners, include cited sources, and focus on quantitative over qualitative predictions. It should be done with the consulting firm in mind (readers should be reminded of the value of expertise), and leave cliffhangers that can be solved by purchasing consulting services. We don't want any inclusion of the consulting services themselves in the articles, as any such additions will be handled by our firm.
