He’s got exceptionally poor client qualification, is actively hostile to better branding, refuses to focus on what he is good at, charges too little, and has poor collection practices which are downstream of working for an unending collection of muppets.https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1210219953099440134 …

This business wants to be a boutique pest control consultancy which specializes in “When you have already tried everything else, you call the Witcher”, probably spends 80% of engagements doing the same three things, travels at a moment’s notice, and charges a king’s ransom.

Note that the Witcher has the canonical problem of attempting to mix a charity and a consultancy, which is that if you can charge a king’s ransom then just do that and hire charitable specialists to give peasants gold rather than killing giant rats for them.

You can subcontract out the killing of the giant rats, subsidized down to free by killing dragons, to any of the host of options for rat killing who are not the }^*#^]ing Witcher.

“How so?” The schools are generally comically underpriced (where we get textual evidence that they cost anything); they’ve got capital requirements higher than the Manhattan Project and are often depicted as being short on e.g. writing supplies, faculty shouldn’t work there.

“Shouldn’t work there?” In general magical schools depict faculty as being approximately middle class but, unlike IRL teachers, they should be substituable for almost literally any professional in the connected world but unboundedly better at that person’s job.
