Client asks for a rough price range
The client is not asking for an exact quote yet. They want a quick range, and you need to answer without pretending the project has already been scoped.
Client asks for an immediate quote
The client wants a number immediately, but you do not yet understand the project well enough to quote cleanly. You need to slow the decision without sounding evasive.
Client asks for your hourly rate
The client wants an hourly number early. You need to answer clearly without letting one rate answer stand in for the whole engagement.
