If they have been using your system for 3 years, you might want to bid ~500k for a ~6 months contract to get it to the next level. It might not be fun but you can make crazy money building custom enterprise applications once you have some credibility.

Ha! Indeed!

I would absolutely consider doing that if I had time. I'm kinda all-in on my own startup at the moment and I'm doing my level best to not be distracted by contracting.

And oh how right you are about it not being especially fun! You make a good point about the sort of money that I should chase to do the job properly, too.

Thanks.
