The budget is flexible -but geared towards someone who already knows a lot of this information & will just write a few briefs on the topics.
Here's an example of what I expect from our hire for this project:

"Opening a Bank Account in Milan - Opening a bank account in Italy is different than EU countries as you're required to provide A, B, and C in addition to D. Before you open your account, you'll need to make sure you have X amount of money to deposit."

The tone is a combination of casual, and professional. Our audience will be young professionals with a technical bend. Two to three sentences is fine.
