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.

Is that the magic school? I think I have to either play the games or read the books to have a better handle on it, but broadly nobody gets microeconomics for schooling anywhere close to right in fantasy.

Schooling is a strong word for what it is. More like McKinsey, with very entrenched semi-permanent consulting agreements with all fiefdoms

but yes, I just want a scifi or fantasy series that truly builds out real economics of its world and what the mods it makes to real world would mean I'm not sure many others would watch. but I'd be so into it

Part of me wonders whether you can do that with fidelity without infecting the fantasy with what we know from having poured several thousand fantasy economies worth of wealth into the problem of optimizing financial systems. (Which might be a fun take on it, played straight.)
