I agree that clients normally don't know full spec because no one works on that.

One way I find very helpful in mitigating this is by getting a prototype of system, a detailed prototype made which goes a long way to clarify specs for the client and help me understand the scope.

I found transitioning to non hourly project billing extremely satisfying.

I found transitioning to full project billing extremely satisfying.

The main downside is not clear project requirements, scope creep and you said / I said issues.

One way I found very helpful in mitigating it is getting a prototype of the UI, with some comments about what's unseen.

Getting an "idea to prototype" thing done is not expensive in context of any 25k+ projects and gains are huge on both sides.
